SPIRou is a near-IR \'echelle spectropolarimeter and high-precision velocimeter under construction as a next-generation instrument for the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope. It is designed to cover a very wide simultaneous near-IR spectral range (0.98-2.35 {\mu}m) at a resolving power of 73.5K, providing unpolarized and polarized spectra of low-mass stars at a radial velocity (RV) precision of 1m/s. The main science goals of SPIRou are the detection of habitable super-Earths around low-mass stars and the study of how critically magnetic fields impact star / planet formation. Following a successful final design review in Spring 2014, SPIRou is now under construction and is scheduled to see first light in late 2017. We present an overview of key aspects of SPIRou's optical and mechanical design.

  1. The CRIMSON survey I: super-stellar SiO in the directly imaged companion TWA 5 B from high-resolution M-band spectroscopy

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    High-resolution M-band spectroscopy detects super-stellar SiO in TWA 5 B, implying no significant magnesium-silicate clouds and formation consistent with core accretion beyond the CO snowline or gravitational instabil...

  2. Astroclimes -- measuring the abundance of CO$_2$ and CH$_4$ in the Earth's atmosphere using astronomical observations

    astro-ph.EP 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A telluric retrieval algorithm recovers long-term CO2 and CH4 trends from standard star spectra, but with large scatter and an unexplained vertical offset.

  3. Biases in retrieving planetary signals in the presence of quasi-periodic stellar activity

    astro-ph.EP 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Injection-recovery simulations show that quasi-periodic stellar activity biases retrieved small-planet radial-velocity amplitudes upward by up to 100% for active stars, and that periodogram searches recover the planet...
