Abstract

We present the results of a series of measurements conducted using the upgraded Fiber Optic Cassegrain Echelle Spectrograph (FOCES)(1) intended to be operated at the 2.0 m Fraunhofer Telescope at the Wendelstein Observatory (Germany) in combination with a laser frequency comb as calibrator. Details about the laboratory set-up of the system integrated with FOCES are shown. Different analysis techniques are applied to investigate the calibration precision and the medium-long term stability of the system in term of changes in stellar radial velocity.
