| Abstract: |
CARMENES (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exoearths with
Near-infrared and optical Echelle Spectrographs) is a next-generation instrument
to be built for the 3.5 m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory by a
consortium of German and Spanish institutions.
It consists of two separated spectrographs covering the wavelength ranges from
0.5 to 1.0 μm and from 1.0 to 1.7 μm with spectral resolutions R =
80,000 and 85,000, respectively.
The spectrographs will be fed by fibers from the Cassegrain focus of the
telescope, housed in a temperature-stabilized environment in vacuum tanks,
calibrated using simultaneous emission lamps, and optimized for exoearth
searches around M dwarfs. |
