Abstract

We describe the data reduction pipeline (DRP) for the Palomar Radial Velocity instrument (PARVI). PARVI is a fiber-fed, high-resolution J and H band spectrometer that targets cool, low-mass stars for the purpose of measuring precise radial velocities to determine companion masses. The spectrograph is fed with four single-mode fibers and records science and laser frequency comb wavelength reference spectra simultaneously. We describe and report on the performances of the data reduction process from two-dimensional image acquisition to reduced, wavelength-calibrated one-dimensional spectra. At this time, a single wavelength solution provides a precision of 3.3 m / s.
