The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the SCAO module AIT in France, from the beta flat configuration towards the flat and final configurations
Yann Clénet, Vincent Lapeyrère, Eric Gendron +45
MICADO is the designated ELT first light instrument, a near-infrared imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to a SCAO and an MCAO mode. Since summer 2024,…
The MICADO first-light imager for the ELT: first steps of the SCAO system MAIT
Yann Clénet, Eric Gendron, Fabrice Vidal +39
MICADO is the ELT first light instrument, an imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to two adaptive optics (AO) modes: a single conjugate one (SCAO), avail…
Single-mode waveguides for GRAVITY II. Single-mode fibers and Fiber Control Unit
G. Perrin, L. Jocou, K. Perraut +22
The 2nd generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY is a two-field infrared interferometer operating in the K band between 1.97 and 2.43 m with either the four 8 m or the four 1.8 m tele…
Monitoring fast solar chromospheric activity: the MeteoSpace project
Jean-Marie Malherbe, Thierry Corbard, Gaële Barbary +4
We present in this reference paper an instrumental project dedicated to the monitoring of solar activity during solar cycle 25. It concerns the survey of fast evolving chromospheri…
First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130
GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…
FIRST, a fibered aperture masking instrument. I. First on-sky test results
E. Huby, G. Perrin, F. Marchis +12
In this paper we present the first on-sky results with the fibered aperture masking instrument FIRST. Its principle relies on the combination of spatial filtering and aperture mask…
GRAVITY: a four-telescope beam combiner instrument for the VLTI
S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin +60
GRAVITY is an adaptive optics assisted Beam Combiner for the second generation VLTI instrumentation. The instrument will provide high-precision narrow-angle astrometry and phase-re…
