CARMENES – A Radial-Velocity Facility for the Calar Alto 3.5m

Three high-resolution spectrographs fed with fibers from prime focus

Search for terrestrial planets around mid-M dwarfs• Near-IR (0.95 … 1.8 μm) arm optimized for Y band• Simultaneous activity monitoring in the visible• 300 targets, 60 observations each over 5 years

Giant planets around G and K giants, up to 5 M• Multiplexed visible-light spectrograph with 14 fibers• Strong constraints for planet formation theories• 3000 targets in the M star fields

Study completed 09/15/09, awaiting review
