TL;DR
TEDI is a novel near-infrared interferometric spectrometer designed specifically for detecting low-mass stellar companions through radial velocity measurements, combining EDI with TripleSpec at Palomar.
Contribution
First implementation of a near-IR interferometric spectrometer dedicated to exoplanet and low-mass star companion discovery.
Findings
Successful demonstration of radial velocimetry in the near-infrared
Integration of EDI with TripleSpec at Palomar telescope
Potential to discover low-mass stellar companions
Abstract
The TEDI (TripleSpec - Exoplanet Discovery Instrument) will be the first instrument fielded specifically for finding low-mass stellar companions. The instrument is a near infra-red interferometric spectrometer used as a radial velocimeter. TEDI joins Externally Dispersed Interferometery (EDI) with an efficient, medium-resolution, near IR (0.9 - 2.4 micron) echelle spectrometer, TripleSpec, at the Palomar 200" telescope. We describe the instrument and its radial velocimetry demonstration program to observe cool stars.
