First Starlight for Habitable Zone Planet Finder

First Starlight for Habitable Zone Planet Finder

The Habitable zone Planet Finder (HPF) obtained its first observations of stars on 5 November. The figure displays a sample spectrum from the HPF’s High Efficiency mode, which shows the sky emission lines and stellar continuum in the 2D echelle image. The insert shows a narrow region of the spectrum near the infrared Calcium triplet lines. Congratulations to the entire HPF team on reaching this milestone!
