CHARA/SPICA: The six-telescope visible combiner and near-infrared fringe tracker for the CHARA Array
D. Mourard, P. Bério, C. Bailet +43
The suite called Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array (SPICA) has two interferometric instruments installed at the focus of the CHARA Array located at Mount Wilson,…
End-to-end simulations of a near-infrared pyramid sensor on Keck II
Cédric Plantet, Guido Agapito, Christophe Giordano +3
The future upgrade of Keck II telescope's adaptive optics system will include a pyramid wavefront sensor working in the near-infrared (J and H band). It will benefit from the recen…
Turbulence monitoring at Calern observatory with the Generalised Differential Image Motion Monitor
Eric Aristidi, Yan Fantéï-Caujolle, Aziz Ziad +4
The Generalised Differential Image Motion Monitor (GDIMM) was proposed a few years ago as a new generation instrument for turbulence monitoring. It measures integrated parameters o…
Monitoring daytime and nighttime optical turbulence profiles with the PML instrument
Eric Aristidi, Aziz Ziad, Yan Fantéï-Caujolle +4
The Profiler of Moon Limb is a recent instrument dedicated to the monitoring of optical turbulence profile of the atmosphere. Fluctuations of the Moon or the Sun limb allow to eval…
QUBIC: the Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology
E. S. Battistelli, P. Ade, J. G. Alberro +136
The Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, QUBIC, is an innovative experiment designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and in particular the…
A generalized differential image motion monitor
E. Aristidi, A. Ziad, J. Chabe +3
We present the Generalised Differential Image Motion Monitor. It is a compact instrument dedicated to measure 4 parameters of the optical turbulence: seeing, isoplanatic angle, coh…
ERIS: revitalising an adaptive optics instrument for the VLT
Richard Davies, Simone Esposito, Hans Martin Schmid +63
ERIS is an instrument that will both extend and enhance the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for the VLT. It will replace two instruments that ar…
The ERIS Adaptive Optics System
A. Riccardi, S. Esposito, G. Agapito +19
ERIS is the new AO instrument for VLT-UT4 led by a Consortium of Max-Planck Institut fuer Extraterrestrische Physik, UK-ATC, ETH-Zurich, ESO and INAF. The ERIS AO system provides N…
Intensity and polarization of the atmospheric emission at millimetric wavelengths at Dome Concordia
E. S. Battistelli, G. Amico, A. Baù +32
Atmospheric emission is a dominant source of disturbance in ground-based astronomy at mm wavelengths. The Antarctic plateau is recognized to be an ideal site for mm and sub-mm obse…
A dual-band millimeter-wave kinetic inductance camera for the IRAM 30-meter telescope
A. Monfardini, A. Benoit, A. Bideaud +22
Context. The Neel IRAM KIDs Array (NIKA) is a fully-integrated measurement system based on kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) currently being developed for millimeter wave astrono…
QUBIC: The QU Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology
The QUBIC collaboration, E. Battistelli, A. Baù +57
One of the major challenges of modern cosmology is the detection of B-mode polarization anisotropies in the CMB. These originate from tensor fluctuations of the metric produced dur…
NIKA: A millimeter-wave kinetic inductance camera
A. Monfardini, L. J. Swenson, A. Bideaud +18
Current generation millimeter wavelength detectors suffer from scaling limits imposed by complex cryogenic readout electronics. To circumvent this it is imperative to investigate t…
