AB The CARMENES instrument has been operational at the 3.5 m telescope of Calar Alto Observatory since January 2016. It consists of two cross-dispersed ´echelle spectrographs covering the wavelength range from 0.52 to 1.71 µm. CARMENES is currently conducting a radial-velocity survey of more than 300 M dwarfs, with a sensitivity sufficient to detect terrestrial planets in their habitable zones. This survey has already yielded a comprehensive spectral atlas of 324 M dwarfs, and it is providing a wealth of diagnostic information on activity in cool stars. The CARMENES Survey data have confirmed a number of known M star planets, and revealed previously unknown planets of GJ 15 A, GJ 1148, and GJ 617 A. CARMENES data have also been used to determine the mass of the transiting planet K2-18 b, and to measure atomic and molecular absorption in planetary atmospheres through transit spectroscopy.
