Descripción
The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) is a new ultra-stable infrared
(YJH) spectrograph that will be installed on ESO's 3.6-metre Telescope
in La Silla, Chile. Aiming to achieve a precision of 1 m s-1,
NIRPS is designed to find rocky planets orbiting M dwarfs, and will
operate together with the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher
(HARPS), also on the 3.6-metre Telescope. In this article we describe
the NIRPS science cases and present its main technical characteristics.
