2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS Status of LiJET Project & The Coude Echelle Spectrograph for the Lijang 1.8m Telescope China-Japan Collaboration Project Meeting @Xinglong Chang, Liang 常 亮 Yunnan Astronomical Observatory 雲南天文台 [email protected] 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS 1. LiJiang Extremely High Precision ExtraSolar Planet Tracker 1)LIJET Project collaborators: China: USTC, YNAO, NJU USA: UFL Supported by Chinese Academy of Science and National Science Foundation of China, University of Florida, and National Science Foundation of USA and also participating institutions including YNAO, USTC, and NJU. 2 )Our Design Goals: * Use low-cost, compact, robust, low maintenance, but high precision and throughput Doppler instruments * Target bright F,G,K dwarfs (V<8) with slow rotation for detection of super Earth mass planets, including habitable ones * Integrate at least 15 min to minimize RV noises from stellar oscillations for low mass planet detection 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS * A nearly perfect match of ~15 min exposure time requirements and photon noise limit offered by a 2 meter telescope for 0.5-1 m/s • For astro-seismology, only target V<5 stars and ~1 min exposures * Target faint solar type stars up to V~12 for moderate-high Doppler precision measurements • Offer continuous high precision radial velocity measurements for V<8 F,G,K stars with 0.51 m/s Doppler precision in 30 min or less • Follow up planet candidates from SDSS-III MARVELS planet survey • Observe other science targets provided by the consortium members * Network resources will be available to the entire consortium members 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS 3).

The calibration light was fed from the calibration lamps on the calibration bench inside the instrument control chassis 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS 4 ) LiJET Status ☺ LiJET already be packed in UF, will ship to China for commissioning in December or Next January(It depends on China Customs) ☺ LiJET RMS RV errors are close to the required values, <1.5m/s for bright calibration sources in UF lab now. ☺ We already built a instrument room for LiJET in 2.4m telescope basement. It’s a temperature and humidity stable room, temperature design goal is ±0.5℃,it have reached ±0.2℃ precision in 3 months. And humidity is controlled in 40%-60%. ☺ We have prepared all tools and spare parts for LiJET set up for commissioning. 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS ***Commissioning Plan, Instrument Testing and Early Science*** ☺ ~6 months of commissioning (weather and instrument unpredicted nature and past EXPERT experience), one run/month, ~15 nights/run; ☺ First run with three weeks, 1st week, hardware installation, 2nd week integration with the telescope, 3rd week trial observations; ☺ Results to meet proposal requirements; ☺ Short (<14 days) and long term (~1 yr) RMS precision; ☺ Commissioning targets (≥2 RV stable starts, ≥2 RV known planets (one with short period and one with > 1 month period); ☺ Early Science: No promise of any science results, but demonstrate its science capability; ☺ Commissioning science targets: In Aug. 12th, 2010, the LiJET Project Collaborators discussed detailed commissioning science targets at Hefei City; It includes ~1 m/s science, ~3‐5 m/s science within 6 months and other science targets and plan. 2.4m Telescope Group Yunnan Observatory of CAS 2.
