Calibration of an echelle spectrograph with an astro-comb: a laser frequency comb with very high repetition rate

Searches for extrasolar planets using precision radial velocity (PRV) techniques are approaching Earth-like planet sensitivity, however require an improvement of one order of magnitude to identify earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars. A key limitation is spectrograph calibratio...
