Scientific paper

The Kepler Mission will provide photometry for 100,000 dwarfs to m ˜ 14 in search of terrestrial-sized exoplanets in a northern field 107 degrees square. This search requires massive photometric and spectroscopic reconnaissance both to identify the dwarfs from the millions of stars in the field and post facto to weed out impostor binaries and blends that mimic transiting earth-size exoplanets. In this paper we discuss several new instruments that the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has recently commissioned or is building that are cornerstones of this spectroscopic follow-up: the Hectochelle and TRES.
