NIRPS: Near-Infrared Planet Searcher to join HARPS on the ESO 3.6-m telescope
Abstract
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS1) is a new ultra-stable infrared (YJH) spectrograph that will be installed on ESO 3.6-m Telescope in La Silla, Chile. Aiming to achieve a precision of 1 m s-1, NIRPS is designed to find rocky planets orbiting M dwarfs, and will operate together with HARPS. Here we describe the NIRPS science cases and present its main technical characteristics.
