Apodization in high-contrast long-slit spectroscopy. II. Concept validation and first on-sky results with VLT/SPHERE
A. Vigan, M. N'Diaye, K. Dohlen +20
Spectral characterization of young, giant exoplanets detected by direct imaging is one of the tasks of the new generation of high-contrast imagers. For this purpose, the VLT/SPHERE…
OIFITS 2: the 2nd version of the Data Exchange Standard for Optical (Visible/IR) Interferometry
Gilles Duvert, John Young, Christian Hummel
This paper describes version 2 of the OI Exchange Format (OIFITS), the standard for exchanging calibrated data from optical (visible/infrared) interferometers. This IAU-endorsed st…
Fully achromatic nulling interferometer (FANI) for high SNR exoplanet characterization
Francois Henault
Space-borne nulling interferometers have long been considered as the best option for searching and characterizing extra-solar planets located in the habitable zone of their parent…
ExTrA: Exoplanets in Transit and their Atmospheres
X. Bonfils, J. M. Almenara, L. Jocou +16
The ExTrA facility, located at La Silla observatory, will consist of a near-infrared multi-object spectrograph fed by three 60-cm telescopes. ExTrA will add the spectroscopic resol…
NectarCAM : a camera for the medium size telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J-F. Glicenstein, O. Abril, J-A. Barrio +63
NectarCAM is a camera proposed for the medium-sized telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) covering the central energy range of ~100 GeV to ~30 TeV. It has a modular des…
Direct exoplanet detection and characterization using the ANDROMEDA method: Performance on VLT/NaCo data
F. Cantalloube, D. Mouillet, L. M. Mugnier +6
Context. The direct detection of exoplanets with high-contrast imaging requires advanced data processing methods to disentangle potential planetary signals from bright quasi-static…
First polarised light with the NIKA camera
A. Ritacco, R. Adam, A. Adane +39
NIKA is a dual-band camera operating with 315 frequency multiplexed LEKIDs cooled at 100 mK. NIKA is designed to observe the sky in intensity and polarisation at 150 and 260 GHz fr…
Benchmarking the Calculation of Stochastic Heating and Emissivity of Dust Grains in the Context of Radiative Transfer Simulations
Peter Camps, Karl Misselt, Simone Bianchi +9
We define an appropriate problem for benchmarking dust emissivity calculations in the context of radiative transfer (RT) simulations, specifically including the emission from stoch…
Impact of ηearth on the capabilities of affordable space missions to detect biosignatures on extrasolar planets
Alain Leger, Denis Defrere, Fabien Malbet +2
We present an analytic model to estimate the capabilities of space missions dedicated to the search for biosignatures in the atmosphere of rocky planets located in the habitable zo…
An Overview of the 2014 ALMA Long Baseline Campaign
ALMA Partnership, E. B. Fomalont, C. Vlahakis +246
A major goal of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is to make accurate images with resolutions of tens of milliarcseconds, which at submillimeter (submm) wavel…
Bi-layer Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space observations between 80-120 GHz
A. Catalano, J. Goupy, H. le Sueur +9
We have developed Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKID) sensitive in the frequency band from 80 to 120~GHz. In this work, we take advantage of the so-called proximity…
Observational calibration of the projection factor of Cepheids I. The Type II Cepheid kappa Pavonis
Joanne Breitfelder, Pierre Kervella, Antoine Mérand +5
The distances of pulsating stars, in particular Cepheids, are commonly measured using the parallax of pulsation technique. The different versions of this technique combine measurem…
Performance of the VLT Planet Finder SPHERE II. Data analysis and Results for IFS in laboratory
D. Mesa, R. Gratton, A. Zurlo +33
We present the performance of the Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS) of SPHERE, the high-contrast imager for the ESO VLT telescope designed to perform imaging and spectroscopy of ex…
The GRAVITY metrology system: narrow-angle astrometry via phase-shifting interferometry
M. Lippa, N. Blind, S. Gillessen +26
The VLTI instrument GRAVITY will provide very powerful astrometry by combining the light from four telescopes for two objects simultaneously. It will measure the angular separation…
