“…Several projects have been initiated to realize this new technique from the ground including: the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), 3,4 which combines Keck AO and NIRSPEC, the Rigorous Exoplanetary Atmosphere Characterization with High dispersion coronography instrument (REACH), 5 which combines SCExAO and IRD and High-Resolution Imaging and Spectroscopy of Exoplanets (HiRISE), which combines SPHERE and CRIRES+. 6 The phase I version of KPIC and the REACH instrument are both transitioning from commissioning to early science at the time of writing of this article and offer complimentary wavelength coverage across the near-IR (NIR) on Maunakea (REACH operates from y-H and KPIC operates in K and L bands), while HiRISE is still in the development stage.…”
