A next-generation extreme precision spectrograph
The Second earth initiative spectrograph
2ES is a next-generation extreme-precision radial velocity spectrograph that will be installed at the MPG/ESO 2.2m Telescope on La Silla, Chile (Southern Hemisphere). 2ES will be dedicated to a > 5-year observing program with access to the majority (2/3) of the telescope time with the goal of discovering temperate terrestrial Earth-mass planets in the habitable zone around the brightest solar-type stars in the sky.
