Abstract

The CARMENES instrument consists of two cross-dispersed échelle spectrographs, which together cover the wavelength range from 5,200 to 17,100 Å. During its first five years of operation at the 3.5 m telescope on Calar Alto, Spain, it has been used for a radial-velocity survey of 365 M dwarfs, for follow-up radial-velocity observations of transiting exoplanets, and for spectroscopic studies of exoplanet atmospheres during transits. The CARMENES data have also yielded a wealth of information on the fundamental parameters and activity of M dwarfs. We provide an overview of the scientific results from the main CARMENES survey in the years 2016 to 2020.
