Pushing high angular resolution and high contrast observations on the VLTI from Y to L band with the Asgard instrumental suite: integration status and plans
Marc-Antoine Martinod, Michael J. Ireland, Denis Defrère +39
ESO's VLTI has a history of record-breaking discoveries in astrophysics using high-angular resolution instrumentation. Its latest visitor instrument, the Asgard instrumental suite,…
Overcoming the low signal-to-noise problem for hybrid mode-selective photonic lantern-based wavefront correction using machine learning
Nathan K Long, Barnaby Norris, Daniel S Dahl +10
Hybrid mode-selective photonic lanterns transform an input complex point-spread function into several single-mode outputs, where a selected core feeds the fundamental mode to a pho…
Seidr update: photonic 'black magic' for high-contrast interferometry using kernel-nulling and photonic lanterns
Nathan K Long, Daniel S Dahl, Christopher H Betters +13
Seidr is a new interferometric beam combiner within the Asgard Suite, utilizing infrastructure common to the BIFROST instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. Seidr co…
Empirical verification of principal mode orthogonality and relative phase calibration in photonic lanterns
Adam K. Taras, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Christopher Betters +6
Photonic lanterns efficiently map input spatial modes to single-mode outputs for applications like high angular resolution imaging and nulling interferometry. However, manufacturin…
The TOLIMAN mission: A low-cost space telescope for high precision narrow-angle astrometry
Peter Tuthill, Christopher Betters, Max Charles +29
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustiv…
Illuminating the lantern: coherent, spectro-polarimetric characterisation of a multimode converter
Adam K. Taras, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Christopher Betters +4
While photonic lanterns efficiently and uniquely map a set of input modes to single-mode outputs (or vice versa), the optical mode transfer matrix of any particular fabricated devi…
Jewel Optics I: non-redundant Fizeau beam combination without the guilt
Adam K. Taras, Grace Piroscia, Peter Tuthill
The enduring technique of aperture masking interferometry, now more than 150 years old, is still widely practised today for it opens a window of high angular resolution astronomy t…
Pushing high angular resolution and high contrast observations on the VLTI from Y to L band with the Asgard instrumental suite: integration status and plans
Marc-Antoine Martinod, Denis Defrère, Michael J. Ireland +35
ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer has a history of record-breaking discoveries in astrophysics and significant advances in instrumentation. The next leap forward is its new…
Heimdallr and Solarstein: alignment, calibration, and correction in the Asgard suite at the VLTI
Adam K. Taras, J. Gordon Robertson, Josh Carter +5
The Asgard instrument suite proposed for the ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) brings with it a new generation of instruments for spectroscopy and nulling. Asgard wi…
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…
Multiplexed Holographic Aperture Masking with liquid-crystal geometric phase masks
David S. Doelman, Peter Tuthill, Barnaby Norris +5
Sparse Aperture Masking (SAM) allows for high-contrast imaging at small inner working angles, however the performance is limited by the small throughput and the number of baselines…
