NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will identify
thousands of planets orbiting nearby bright stars in a two-year survey
beginning in the Southern sky. MINERVA-Australis at USQ's Mount Kent
Observatory is the only southern hemisphere precise radial velocity
facility wholly dedicated to follow-up of TESS planets. Mass
measurements of these planets are critically necessary...

13. The Veloce Doppler Spectrograph at the AAT

Veloce is a new precision Doppler spectrograph for the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope sited on Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. Cost considerations for an instrument with a total budget of A$5.4m mean that Veloce's design philosophy is one of "just enough" stabilisation (i.e. stabilising the spectrograph in pressure and temperature so that changes over time will be small and...

11. First results from PEPSI

We present recent results from the latest addition to the spectrograph zoo: PEPSI, the new bench-mounted fiber-fed and stabilized “Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument” for the 11.8m Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Besides the LBT the instrument is also fiber linked to a disk-integration solar telescope and the Vatican Observatory's 1.8m VATT. I will introduce PEPSI and...
