论文摘要
极端精度光谱仪(Expres)是一种环境稳定的,纤维喂养的,$ r = 137,500 $,光谱仪。它最近在亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫附近的4.3 m洛厄尔发现望远镜(LDT)上进行了委托。该光谱仪的设计为30 $ \ mathrm {〜cm〜s^{ - 1}} $的目标径向速度(RV)精度。 In addition to instrumental innovations, the EXPRES pipeline, presented here, is the first for an on-sky, optical, fiber-fed spectrograph to employ many novel techniques---including an "extended flat" fiber used for wavelength-dependent quantum efficiency characterization of the CCD, a flat-relative optimal extraction algorithm, chromatic barycentric corrections, chromatic calibration offsets, and an ultra-precise波长校准的激光频率梳子。 We describe the reduction, calibration, and radial-velocity analysis pipeline used for EXPRES and present an example of our current sub-meter-per-second RV measurement precision, which reaches a formal, single-measurement error of 0.3$\mathrm{~m~s^{-1}}$ for an observation with a per-pixel signal-to-noise ratio of 250. These velocities yield an orbital solution on the已知的系外星宿主51钉,与文献值匹配,残留RMS为0.895 $ \ MATHRM {〜M〜S^{ - 1}} $。
The EXtreme PREcision Spectrograph (EXPRES) is an environmentally stabilized, fiber-fed, $R=137,500$, optical spectrograph. It was recently commissioned at the 4.3-m Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) near Flagstaff, Arizona. The spectrograph was designed with a target radial-velocity (RV) precision of 30$\mathrm{~cm~s^{-1}}$. In addition to instrumental innovations, the EXPRES pipeline, presented here, is the first for an on-sky, optical, fiber-fed spectrograph to employ many novel techniques---including an "extended flat" fiber used for wavelength-dependent quantum efficiency characterization of the CCD, a flat-relative optimal extraction algorithm, chromatic barycentric corrections, chromatic calibration offsets, and an ultra-precise laser frequency comb for wavelength calibration. We describe the reduction, calibration, and radial-velocity analysis pipeline used for EXPRES and present an example of our current sub-meter-per-second RV measurement precision, which reaches a formal, single-measurement error of 0.3$\mathrm{~m~s^{-1}}$ for an observation with a per-pixel signal-to-noise ratio of 250. These velocities yield an orbital solution on the known exoplanet host 51 Peg that matches literature values with a residual RMS of 0.895$\mathrm{~m~s^{-1}}$.
