We present a design of a prototype infrared version of the Exoplanet Tracker (ET). This instrument is a combination of a fixed-delay interferometer with a medium resolution near infrared spectrograph (R 10,000). It inherits the design of the single object optical ET instrument at the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope, which has been used for high precision radial velocity observations since 2004, including a discovery of ET-1(HD102195b) planet. This IR ET is optimized for high throughput and Doppler precision in 0.9-1.8 microns. An existing medium resolution spectrograph available at Penn State will be used for initial lab testing and telescope demonstration. We will also present instrument performance simulation results.
Once the capability is demonstrated, we will develop a multiple object version for the Sloan 2.5m telescope for surveying nearby tens of thousands of M dwarfs for new planets during All Sky Extrasolar Planet Survey.
