The SOPHIE échelle spectrograph is a high-resolution astronomical spectrograph used for the study of stellar spectra. It is primarily mounted on the 1.93-meter telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence in France. SOPHIE is designed to observe the spectra of stars and is particularly well-suited for detecting exoplanets through Doppler spectroscopy, which involves measuring the slight shifts in the spectral lines of stars caused by the gravitational influence of orbiting planets.
