The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Davies, O. Absil, G. Agapito +81
ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is an instrument that both extends and enhances the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for t…
The GRAVITY metrology system: narrow-angle astrometry via phase-shifting interferometry
M. Lippa, N. Blind, S. Gillessen +26
The VLTI instrument GRAVITY will provide very powerful astrometry by combining the light from four telescopes for two objects simultaneously. It will measure the angular separation…
Infrared Narrow-Band Tomography of the Local Starburst NGC 1569 with LBT/LUCIFER
A. Pasquali, A. Bik, S. Zibetti +24
We used the near-IR imager/spectrograph LUCIFER mounted on the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) to image, with sub-arcsec seeing, the local dwarf starburst NGC 1569 in the JHK bands…
Black Hole Mass Estimates Based on CIV are Consistent with Those Based on the Balmer Lines
R. J. Assef, K. D. Denney, C. S. Kochanek +39
Using a sample of high-redshift lensed quasars from the CASTLES project with observed-frame ultraviolet or optical and near-infrared spectra, we have searched for possible biases b…
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…
GRAVITY: getting to the event horizon of Sgr A*
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, W. Brandner +45
We present the second-generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY, which currently is in the preliminary design phase. GRAVITY is specifically designed to observe highly relativistic motion…
