A six-apertures discrete beam combiners for J-band interferometry
Ettore Pedretti, Simone Piacentini, Giacomo Corrielli +2
The astronomical J-band (1.25 micrometres) is a relatively untapped wave-band in long-baseline infrared interferometry. It allows access to the photosphere in giant and super-giant…
The Planet Formation Imager
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, Michael J. Ireland +36
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI, www.planetformationimager.org) is a next-generation infrared interferometer array with the primary goal of imaging the active phases of planet for…
Planet Formation Imager: Project Update
John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland, Stefan Kraus +2
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including…
Hi-5: a potential high-contrast thermal near-infrared imager for the VLTI
D. Defrère, M. Ireland, O. Absil +25
Hi-5 is a high-contrast (or high dynamic range) infrared imager project for the VLTI. Its main goal is to characterize young extra-solar planetary systems and exozodiacal dust arou…
NAIR: Novel Astronomical Instrumentation through photonic Reformatting
Robert J. Harris, Jan Tepper, John J. Davenport +11
The project "Novel Astronomical Instrumentation through photonic Reformatting" is a DFG-funded collaboration to exploit the recognized potential of photonics solutions for a radica…
The path towards high-contrast imaging with the VLTI: the Hi-5 project
D. Defrère, O. Absil, J. -P. Berger +26
The development of high-contrast capabilities has long been recognized as one of the top priorities for the VLTI. As of today, the VLTI routinely achieves contrasts of a few 10$^{-…
