The Advanced Fiber-optic Echelle (AFOE) and Extrasolar Planet Searches
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The Advanced Fiber-Optic Echelle (AFOE) is a fiber-fed bench-top spectrograph specifically designed for precise radial velocity observations. The AFOE is permanently located at the 1.5-m telescope at Smithsonian’s Whipple Observatory in Arizona and is regularly used for monitoring exo-planet candidate stars and for asteroseismology observations. In this paper, we discuss the status of the instrument, as well as an upgrade to the instrument, a Fabry-Perot reference, which may prove important both for the AFOE and for all precise radial velocity (PRV) facilities.
