SUMMARY:CARMENES: towards the detection of exoearths 
DESCRIPTION:CARMENES: towards the detection of exoearths \nDr. José Antoni
 o Caballero\n\nCARMENES (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs wi
 th Exoearths with Near-infrared and optical Échelle Spectrographs) 
 is a next-generation instrument being built for the 3.5m telescope at the 
 Calar Alto Observatory by a consortium of German and Spanish institutions.
  It consists of two separated spectrographs covering the wavelength ranges
  from 0.5 to 1.0 mum and from 1.0 to 1.7 mum with spectral resolutions R =
  82,000, each of which shall perform high-accuracy radial-velocity measure
 ments (~1 m/s) with long-term stability. The fundamental science objective
  of CARMENES is to carry out a survey of ~300 late-type main-sequence star
 s with the goal of detecting low-mass planets in their habitable zones. We
  aim at being able to detect 2 MEarth planets in the habitable zone of M5V
  stars. The CARMENES first light is expected to occur in Spring 2014.
