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,…
CHARA Array Observations of the Evolved Components in Symbiotic Star Systems
Thomas Martin Gaudin, Ryan Norris, Magdalena Otulakowska-Hypka +30
The nature of the mechanisms that drive mass transfer in symbiotic stars remains an area of active research in stellar astronomy. Constraining the role that both stellar winds and…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae
Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39
Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…
Surprise non-detection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
Tyler Gardner, John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus +11
Ground-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets which are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHAR…
Multiplicity of Galactic Cepheids from long-baseline interferometry V. High-accuracy orbital parallax and mass of SU Cygni
A. Gallenne, N. R. Evans, P. Kervella +23
Cepheid masses are particularly necessary to help solving the mass discrepancy, while independent distance determinations provide crucial test of the period-luminosity relation and…
Visual Orbits of Wolf-Rayet Stars II: The Orbit of the Nitrogen-Rich WR Binary WR 138 measured with the CHARA Array
Amanda Holdsworth, Noel Richardson, Gail H. Schaefer +19
Classical Wolf-Rayet stars are descendants of massive OB-type stars that have lost their hydrogen-rich envelopes, and are in the final stages of stellar evolution, possibly explodi…
Visual Orbits of Wolf-Rayet Stars I: The Orbit of the dust-producing Wolf-Rayet binary WR\,137 measured with the CHARA Array
Noel D. Richardson, Gail H. Schaefer, Jan J. Eldridge +19
Classical Wolf-Rayet stars are the descendants of massive OB stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes and are burning helium in their cores prior to exploding as type Ib/c sup…
Recent and Upcoming Upgrades for MIRC-X and MYSTIC on the CHARA Array
Noura Ibrahim, Mayra Gutierrez, John D. Monnier +17
MIRC-X and MYSTIC are six-telescope near-infrared beam (1.08-2.38 m) combiners at the CHARA Array on Mt Wilson CA, USA. Ever since the commissioning of MIRC-X (J and H bands) in…
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…
Vortex Fiber Nulling for Exoplanet Observations: First Direct Detection of M Dwarf Companions around HIP 21543, HIP 94666, and HIP 50319
Daniel Echeverri, Jerry W. Xuan, John D. Monnier +35
Vortex fiber nulling (VFN) is a technique for detecting and characterizing faint companions at small separations from their host star. A near-infrared (m) VFN demonstrat…

Guillermo Torres, Gail H. Schaefer, Robert P. Stefanik +16
We report near-infrared long-baseline interferometric observations of the Hyades multiple system HD 284163, made with the CHARA array, as well as almost 43 yr of high-resolution sp…
High-angular resolution and high-contrast VLTI observations from Y to L band with the Asgard instrumental suite
Marc-Antoine Martinod, Denis Defrère, Michael Ireland +17
The Very Large Telescope Interferometer is one of the most proficient observatories in the world for high angular resolution. Since its first observations, it has hosted several in…
Gaussian phase autocorrelation as an accurate compensator for FFT-based atmospheric phase screen simulations
Sorabh Chhabra, Jyotirmay Paul, A. N. Ramaprakash +1
Accurately simulating the atmospheric turbulence behaviour is always challenging. The well-known FFT based method falls short in correctly predicting both the low and high frequenc…
