(KPF)
(spectrograph in development for Keck)

The Keck Planet Finder (KPF) is a high resolution spectrograph being deployed on Keck I, designed to find and observe extra-solar planets using the radial velocity method. It saw first light in November 2022, and as of mid-2023 it seems to be in the midst of deployment, i.e., adjustment and testing.
