Modeling of Alpha Cen and Procyon using VLTI observations
P. Kervella, F. Thevenin, P. Morel +4
We present a novel approach to model the nearby stars Alpha Cen A & B and Procyon A using asteroseismic and interferometric constraints. Using the VINCI instrument installed at the…
VINCI / VLTI observations of Main Sequence stars
P. Kervella, F. Thevenin, P. Morel +7
Main Sequence (MS) stars are by far the most numerous class in the Universe. They are often somewhat neglected as they are relatively quiet objects (but exceptions exist), though t…
The diameter and evolutionary state of Procyon A
P. Kervella, F. Thevenin, P. Morel +3
We report the angular diameter measurement obtained with the VINCI/VLTI instrument on the nearby star Procyon A (alpha CMi A, F5IV-V), at a relative precision of +/- 0.9%. We obtai…
The interferometric diameter and internal structure of Sirius A
P. Kervella, F. Thevenin, P. Morel +2
The interferometric observations of dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood, combined with Hipparcos parallaxes provide very precise values of their linear diameters. In this paper,…
Updated results on prototype chalcogenide fibers for 10-um wavefront spatial filtering
P. Borde, G. Perrin, A. Amy-Klein +2
The detection of terrestrial planets by Darwin/TPF missions will require extremely high quality wavefronts. Single-mode fibers have proven to be powerful beam cleaning components i…
Exoplanet detection capability of the COROT space mission
P. Borde, D. Rouan, A. Leger
COROT will be the first high precision photometric satellite to be launched with the aim of detecting exoplanets by the transit method. In this paper, we present the simulations we…
