VLTI status update: a decade of operations and beyond
Antoine Merand, Roberto Abuter, Emmanuel Aller-Carpentier +44
We present the latest update of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope interferometer (VLTI). The operations of VLTI have greatly improved in the past years: redu…
Improving the astrometric performance of VLTI-PRIMA
J. Woillez, R. Abuter, L. Andolfato +18
In the summer of 2011, the first on-sky astrometric commissioning of PRIMA-Astrometry delivered a performance of 3 m'' for a 10 '' separation on bright objects, orders of magnitude…
Simulating X-ray Observations with Python
John A. ZuHone, Veronica Biffi, Eric J. Hallman +3
X-ray astronomy is an important tool in the astrophysicist's toolkit to investigate high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Theoretical numerical simulations of astrophysical sources…
Mid-infrared interferometry with K band fringe-tracking I. The VLTI MIDI+FSU experiment
A. Müller, J. -U. Pott, A. Mérand +11
Context: A turbulent atmosphere causes atmospheric piston variations leading to rapid changes in the optical path difference of an interferometer, which causes correlated flux loss…
Long term variability of Cygnus X-1: VI. Energy-resolved X-ray variability 1999-2011
V. Grinberg, K. Pottschmidt, M. Böck +11
We present the most extensive analysis of Fourier-based X-ray timing properties of the black hole binary Cygnus X-1 to date, based on 12 years of bi-weekly monitoring with RXTE fro…
