The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Davies, O. Absil, G. Agapito +81
ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is an instrument that both extends and enhances the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for t…
The VLT/ERIS grating vector Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraph
M. A. Kenworthy, F. A. Dannert, J. Hayoz +29
We describe the design, laboratory manufacture, and on-sky testing of the grating vector apodizing phase plate (gvAPP) coronagraph for the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrogra…
Deep imaging of three accelerating stars using SHARK-NIR and LMIRCam at LBT
D. Mesa, R. Gratton, V. D'Orazi +29
The combination of detection techniques enhances our ability to identify companions orbiting nearby stars. We employed high-contrast imaging to constrain mass and separation of pos…
The gas streamer G1-2-3 in the Galactic Center
S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, J. Cuadra +61
The black hole in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, is prototypical for ultra-low-fed galactic nuclei. The discovery of a hand-full of gas clumps in the realm of a few Earth masses in i…
Review of high-contrast imaging systems for current and future ground- and space-based telescopes I. Coronagraph design methods and optical performance metrics
G. Ruane, A. Riggs, J. Mazoyer +29
The Optimal Optical Coronagraph (OOC) Workshop at the Lorentz Center in September 2017 in Leiden, the Netherlands gathered a diverse group of 25 researchers working on exoplanet in…
SPHERE+: Imaging young Jupiters down to the snowline
A. Boccaletti, G. Chauvin, D. Mouillet +130
SPHERE (Beuzit et al,. 2019) has now been in operation at the VLT for more than 5 years, demonstrating a high level of performance. SPHERE has produced outstanding results using a…
