(Keck I spectrograph for RV measurements)
The Keck Planet Finder (KPF) is a high resolution spectrograph
on Keck I, designed to find and observe extra-solar planets using
the radial velocity method, detecting radial-velocity differences
down to less than a meter per second.
The instrument saw first light in November 2022, and has been in science
operation since April 2023.
