HARPS-N
(High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern Hemisphere)
is a spectrograph with an echelle grating designed to measure the
radial velocity of stars,
similar in design to HARPS.
HARPS-N is installed in Italy's 3.58-meter
Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG)
in the Canary Islands.
It began operation in 2012.
Among its work is following up on discoveries by the Kepler Telescope
to gather more data about extra-solar planets.
