GRAVITY for MATISSE -- Improving the MATISSE performance with the GRAVITY fringe tracker
J. Woillez, R. Petrov, R. Abuter +23
Context: MATISSE, the mid-infrared spectro-imaging instrument of VLTI, was designed to deliver its advertised performance when paired with an external second generation fringe trac…
Heimdallr, Baldr and Solarstein: designing the next generation of VLTI instruments in the Asgard suite
Adam K. Taras, J. Gordon Robertson, Fatme Allouche +11
High angular resolution imaging is an increasingly important capability in contemporary astrophysics. Of particular relevance to emerging fields such as the characterisation of exo…
The GRAVITY+ Project: Towards All-sky, Faint-Science, High-Contrast Near-Infrared Interferometry at the VLTI
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, Roberto Abuter +134
The GRAVITY instrument has been revolutionary for near-infrared interferometry by pushing sensitivity and precision to previously unknown limits. With the upgrade of GRAVITY and th…
CHARA/SPICA: a 6-telescope visible instrument for the CHARA Array
Denis Mourard, Philippe Berio, Cyril Pannetier +25
With a possible angular resolution down to 0.1-0.2 millisecond of arc using the 330 m baselines and the access to the 600-900 nm spectral domain, the CHARA Array is ideally configu…
SPICA-FT: The new fringe tracker of the CHARA array
Cyril Pannetier, Philippe Berio, Denis Mourard +11
SPICA-FT is part of the CHARA/SPICA instrument which combines a visible 6T fibered instrument (SPICAVIS) with a H-band 6T fringe sensor. SPICA-FT is a pairwise ABCD integrated opti…
Building a GRAVITY+ Adaptive Optics Test Bench
The Gravity Plus Consortium, Florentin Millour, Philippe Berio +22
We present the testbench aimed at integrating the GRAVITY+ adaptive optics GPAO. It consists of two independent elements, one reproducing the Coud{é} focus of the telescope, includ…
First Light for GRAVITY Wide: Large Separation Fringe Tracking for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, R. Abuter +114
GRAVITY+ is the upgrade of GRAVITY and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) with wide-separation fringe tracking, new adaptive optics, and laser guide stars on all four 8…
Improving the diameters of interferometric calibrators with MATISSE
S. Robbe-Dubois, P. Cruzalèbes, Ph. Berio +16
A good knowledge of the angular diameters of stars used to calibrate the observables in stellar interferometry is fundamental. As the available precision for giant stars is worse t…
MATISSE, the VLTI mid-infrared imaging spectro-interferometer
B. Lopez, S. Lagarde, R. G. Petrov +150
Context:Optical interferometry is at a key development stage. ESO's VLTI has established a stable, robust infrastructure for long-baseline interferometry for general astronomical o…
Progress of the CHARA/SPICA project
C. Pannetier, D. Mourard, P. Berio +22
CHARA/SPICA (Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array) is currently being developed at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur. It will be installed at the visible focus of the C…
MATISSE: specifications and expected performances
A. Matter, S. Lagarde, R. G. Petrov +9
MATISSE (Multi AperTure mid-Infrared SpectroScopic Experiment) is the next generation spectro-interferometer at the European Southern Observatory VLTI operating in the spectral ban…
An overview of the mid-infrared spectro-interferometer MATISSE: science, concept, and current status
A. Matter, B. Lopez, P. Antonelli +104
MATISSE is the second-generation mid-infrared spectrograph and imager for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at Paranal. This new interferometric instrument will allow…
Data reduction for the MATISSE instrument
Florentin Millour, P Berio, M Heininger +15
We present in this paper the general formalism and data processing steps used in the MATISSE data reduction software, as it has been developed by the MATISSE consortium. The MATISS…
