SPIRou is a near-infrared spectropolarimeter and high-precision radial-velocity instrument, to be mounted on the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope ontop Maunakea and to be offered to the CFHT community from 2018. It focuses on two main scientific objectives : (i) the search and study of Earth-like planets around M dwarfs, especially in their habitable zone and (ii) the study of stellar and planetary formation in the presence of stellar magnetic field. The SPIRou characteristics (complete coverage of the near infrared wavelengths, high resolution, high stability and efficiency, polarimetry) also allow many other programs, e.g., magnetic fields and atmospheres of M dwarfs and brown dwarfs, star-planet interactions, formation and characterization of massive stars, dynamics and atmospheric chemistry of planets in the solar system.

  1. Hydroxyl Lines and Moonlight: a High Spectral Resolution Investigation of NIR skylines from Maunakea to guide NIR spectroscopic surveys

    astro-ph.IM 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A six-night, high-cadence SPIRou dataset yields the first Maunakea NIR Moon-continuum measurement, 126 resolved OH doublets, and about 30-minute OH variability timescales that set practical sky-sampling requirements.

  2. Instrumentation prospects for rocky exoplanet atmospheres studies with high resolution spectroscopy

    astro-ph.EP 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Higher spectral resolution (R=300,000) materially reduces the exposure time needed to detect oxygen A-band absorption in hazy, cloudy exoplanet atmospheres relative to R=100,000.
