Abstract

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is a fiber-fed, optical band high dispersion echelle spectrograph that selected as the first light instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). This G-CLEF has been designed to be a general- purpose echelle spectrograph with the precisional radial velocity (PRV) capability of 10 cm/sec as a goal. The preliminary design review (PDR) was held on April 8 to 10, 2015 and the scientific observations will be started in 2022 with four mirrors installed on GMT. We have been participating in this preliminary design study in flexure control camera (slit monitoring system), calibration lamp sources, dichroic assembly and the fabrication of the proto-Mangin Mirror. We present the design concept on the parts KASI undertaken, introducing the specifications and capabilities of G-CLEF.
