Development of an adaptive optics testbed at MPIA for the ELT/Planetary Camera and Spectrograph (PCS)
Raphaël Pourcelot, Thomas Bertram, Peter Bizenberger +5
The Planetary Camera and Spectrograph (PCS) is a proposed second-generation instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), dedicated to the direct imaging and characterization…
Charge migration characterization in the METIS H2RG detectors
Danny Gasman, Benoît Serra, Roy van Boekel +4
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) is one of the first-light instruments of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). For the L and M band, the instrument makes use of…
Assembly, integration, and verification of MITESI: an optical testbed for simulating the ELT in the laboratory
Daniel J Ahrer, M. Concepción Cárdenas Vázquez, Thomas Bertram +5
MITESI is an optical testbed which simulates key characteristics of the ELT, ultimately producing an artificial natural guide star. It was designed primarily to enable testing of t…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
Validating the Local Volume Mapper acquisition and guiding hardware
Maximilian Häberle, Thomas M. Herbst, Peter Bizenberger +13
The Local Volume Mapper (LVM) project is one of three surveys that form the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V. It will map the interstellar gas emission in a large fraction of the souther…
Infrared wavefront sensing for adaptive optics assisted Galactic Center observations with the VLT interferometer and GRAVITY: operation and results
Stefan Hippler, Wolfgang Brandner, Silvia Scheithauer +15
This article describes the operation of the near-infrared wavefront sensing based Adaptive Optics (AO) system CIAO. The Coudé Infrared Adaptive Optics (CIAO) system is a central au…
Development of the Warm Astrometric Mask for MICADO astrometry calibration
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Miriam Sawczuck, Jörg Uwe Pott +9
The achievement of arcsec relative astrometry with ground-based, near infrared, extremely large telescopes requires a significant endeavour of calibration strategies. In this pa…
Alignment and preliminary outcomes of an ELT-size instrument to a very large telescope: LINC-NIRVANA at LBT
M. Bergomi, L. Marafatto, V. Viotto +14
LINC-NIRVANA (LN) is a high resolution, near infrared imager that uses a multiple field-of-view, layer-oriented, multi-conjugate AO system, consisting of four multi-pyramid wavefro…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview, operation, simulation
Richard Davies, João Alves, Yann Clénet +98
MICADO will enable the ELT to perform diffraction limited near-infrared observations at first light. The instrument's capabilities focus on imaging (including astrometric and high…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
Laboratory Results and Status Update for Pathfinder at LBT, The LINC-NIRVANA NGS Ground- Layer AO Subsystem
Derek Kopon, Al Conrad, Thomas Bertram +20
The full LINC-NIRVANA instrument will be one of the most complex ground-based astronomical systems ever built. It will consist of multiple subsystems, including two multi-conjugate…
The ESPRI project: astrometric exoplanet search with PRIMA I. Instrument description and performance of first light observations
J. Sahlmann, T. Henning, D. Queloz +42
The ESPRI project relies on the astrometric capabilities offered by the PRIMA facility of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer for the discovery and study of planetary systems.…
