N1 - Funding Information:
The FIDEOS project was funded by CONICYT through program FONDEF IdeA no. CA13I10203. Support was also provided by projects CONICYT Anillo ACT-86, Anillo ACT-1417, Fondecyt no. 1130849, Fondecyt no. 1171364, and ESO Comite Mixto. MF was supported by project CONICYT Gemini no. 32030014. AZ was supported by CONICYT grant no. 21170536. AJ acknowledges support from FONDECYT project no. 1171208 and from BASAL CATA PFB-06. AJ and RB received support from project IC120009 ‘Millennium Institute of Astrophysics (MAS)’ of the Millennium Science Initiative, Chilean Ministry of Economy.

We are specially grateful to the administrative personnel of the AIUC Lilena Montenegro and Carlos Caire for their precious support in the management and logistic of the project. We also thank Christian Moni-Bidin at UCN, Juan Veliz at PUC, José Pizarro at Universidad de Chile, the Department of Mechanics and Metallurgy of PUC, and the personnel at ESO La Silla for their constant help during the execution of this project. Finally a special thanks to Carlos Viscasillas, who visited the AIUC team during the early phases of the project, for his lasting interest in our work, his support, and enthusiasm even from long distance.

N2 - We present results from the commissioning and early science programs of FIbre Dual Echelle Optical Spectrograph (FIDEOS), the new high-resolution echelle spectrograph developed at the Centre of Astro Engineering of Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, and recently installed at the ESO 1-m telescope of La Silla. The instrument provides spectral resolution R ∼ 43 000 in the visible spectral range 420-800 nm, reaching a limiting magnitude of 11 in V band. Precision in the measurement of radial velocity is guaranteed by light feeding with an octagonal optical fibre, suitable mechanical isolation, thermal stabilization, and simultaneous wavelength calibration. Currently the instrument reaches radial velocity stability of ∼8 m s-1 over several consecutive nights of observation.
