Original abstract
We present the design of DUET, a dual-channel imager being built for the SPECULOOS-Southern Observatory (SSO) to detect and characterise transiting terrestrial exoplanets orbiting ultra-cool dwarfs. A dichroic beamsplitter at 955\,nm directs visible light to a deeply-depleted silicon CCD and near-infrared light to a CMOS-based InGaAs detector, enabling fully simultaneous photometry with bandpasses from 0.4 to 1.7\,\textmu m. The near-infrared filters have been chosen to suppress sensitivity to atmospheric precipitable water vapour (PWV) variability, a dominant source of correlated noise in ground-based infrared photometry of cool stars. We describe the optical and mechanical architecture, the dichroic and filter selection, the choice of detectors, and the control system.
