SPIE 9908, Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VI, 99086M (August 9, 2016); doi:10.1117/12.2232632https://hdl.handle.net/2144/22292We present an updated optical and mechanical design of NEWS: the Near-infrared Echelle for Wide-band Spectroscopy (formerly called HiJaK: the High-resolution J, H and K spectrometer), a compact, high-resolution, near-infrared spectrometer for 5-meter class telescopes. NEWS provides a spectral resolution of 60,000 and covers the full 0.8-2.5 micron range in 5 modes. We adopt a compact, lightweight, monolithic design and developed NEWS to be mounted to the instrument cube at the Cassegrain focus of the the new 4.3-meter Discovery Channel Telescope.99086M - 99086MInfrared astronomyInfrared spectroscopyLow-mass starsExoplanetsStellar abundancesDiscovery Channel TelescopeConference materials10.1117/12.22326320000-0002-0638-8822 (Muirhead, PS)
