L-band nulling interferometry at the VLTI with Asgard/Hi-5: status and plans
Denis Defrère, Azzurra Bigioli, Colin Dandumont +34
Hi-5 is the L'-band (3.5-4.0 m) high-contrast imager of Asgard, an instrument suite in preparation for the visitor focus of the VLTI. The system is optimized for high-contrast a…
Theia : science cases and mission profiles for high precision astrometry in the future
Fabien Malbet, Lucas Labadie, Alessandro Sozzetti +11
High-precision astrometry well beyond the capacities of Gaia will provide a unique way to achieve astrophysical breakthroughs, in particular on the nature of dark matter, and a com…
Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry
Fabien Malbet, Céline Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +83
Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint ob…
Characterizing the atmosphere of Proxima b with a space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer
D. Defrère, A. Léger, O. Absil +9
Proxima b is our nearest potentially rocky exoplanet and represents a formidable opportunity for exoplanet science and possibly astrobiology. With an angular separation of only 35~…
Space-based infrared interferometry to study exoplanetary atmospheres
D. Defrère, A. Léger, O. Absil +30
The quest for other habitable worlds and the search for life among them are major goals of modern astronomy. One way to make progress towards these goals is to obtain high-quality…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
