    Abstract: The TEDI (TripleSpec - Exoplanet Discovery Instrument) will be the
    first instrument fielded specifically for finding low-mass stellar
    companions.

    The instrument is a near infra-red interferometric spectrometer used as a
    radial velocimeter. TEDI joins Externally Dispersed Interferometery (EDI)
    with an efficient, medium-resolution, near IR (0.9 - 2.4 micron) echelle
    spectrometer, TripleSpec, at the Palomar 200 telescope. We describe the
    instrument and its radial velocimetry demonstration program to observe cool
    stars.
