CHARA/SPICA: The six-telescope visible combiner and near-infrared fringe tracker for the CHARA Array
D. Mourard, P. Bério, C. Bailet +43
The suite called Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array (SPICA) has two interferometric instruments installed at the focus of the CHARA Array located at Mount Wilson,…
First Light for the GRAVITY+ Adaptive Optics: Extreme Adaptive Optics for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, F. Allouche +137
GRAVITY+ improves by orders of magnitude the sensitivity, sky-coverage and contrast of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). A central part of this project is the develop…
GRAVITY+ adaptive optics (GPAO) tests in Europe
Florentin Millour, Guillaume Bourdarot, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin +54
We present in this proceeding the results of the test phase of the GRAVITY+ adaptive optics. This extreme AO will enable both high-dynamic range observations of faint companions (i…
GRAVITY+ Wavefront Sensors: High-Contrast, Laser Guide Star, Adaptive Optics systems for the VLTI
G. Bourdarot, F. Eisenhauer, S. Yazıcı +53
We present the Wavefront Sensor units of the Gravity Plus Adaptive Optics (GPAO) system, which will equip all 8m class telescopes of the VLTI and is an instrumental part of the GRA…
Impact of local turbulence on high-order adaptive optics
Hugo Nowacki, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Carole Gouvret +9
We present an experiment set to address a standard specification aiming at avoiding local turbulence inside the Coudé train of telescopes. Namely, every optical surface should be k…
