Optical ray tracing of echelle spectrographs applied to the wavelength solution for precise radial velocities
Marcelo Tala Pinto, Adrian Kaminski, Andreas Quirrenbach +1
We present , a ray tracing software package that computes the path of rays through echelle spectrographs. Our algorithm is based on sequential direct tracing with Se…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Radial velocities and activity indicators from cross-correlation functions with weighted binary masks
M. Lafarga, I. Ribas, C. Lovis +24
For years, the standard procedure to measure radial velocities (RVs) of spectral observations consisted in cross-correlating the spectra with a binary mask, that is, a simple stell…
Spectrum radial velocity analyser (SERVAL). High-precision radial velocities and two alternative spectral indicators
M. Zechmeister, A. Reiners, P. J. Amado +18
Context: The CARMENES survey is a high-precision radial velocity (RV) programme that aims to detect Earth-like planets orbiting low-mass stars. Aims: We develop least-squares fitti…
The ESPRI project: astrometric exoplanet search with PRIMA I. Instrument description and performance of first light observations
J. Sahlmann, T. Henning, D. Queloz +42
The ESPRI project relies on the astrometric capabilities offered by the PRIMA facility of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer for the discovery and study of planetary systems.…
Narrow-angle astrometry with PRIMA
J. Sahlmann, D. Ségransan, A. Mérand +16
The Extrasolar Planet Search with PRIMA project (ESPRI) aims at characterising and detecting extrasolar planets by measuring the host star's reflex motion using the narrow-angle as…
