MAROON-X (M-dwarf Advanced Radial velocity Observer Of Neighboring eXoplanets) is an instrument on the Gemini-North telescope which the goal of identifying habitable planets around M-dwarf stars using radial velocities. More information can be found on the GEMINI website or Dr. Jacob Bean’s website.
With MAROON-X we have been able to provide extremely precise radial velocity measurements that allow for the detection and characterization of many exoplanets. My work included both increasing the speed of the data-reduction pipeline as well as greatly reducing the required time each month for reduction by automating much of the process.
