Some comments on the design of échelle spectrographs using R2 or R4 gratings for precise radial-velocity measurements
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A new fiber-fed échelle spectrograph (Hercules) is being designed for the 1-m telescope at Mt John University Observatory. The goals are to have a wavelength capability of 380 to 880 nm, covered in a single exposure on a 50-mm square CCD, to have a choice of resolving powers of 35000 or 70000 and to have no moving parts. High precision radialvelocity observations are a major but not the only goal. Designs with both R2 (blaze angle 63.4 deg) and R4 (blaze angle 76 deg) échelle gratings are being considered, in either case with a dimension of 408 mm perpendicular to the grooves.
