A new high resolution spectrometer
In March 2011, our group, together with Andrei Tokovinin at CTIO, built and commissioned a high-resolution spectrometer, CHIRON.
CHIRON is a highly stable cross-dispersed echelle spectrometer deployed at CTIO 1.5m telescope. It is fed by fiber and intended primarily for precise radial velocities.
