Impact of the 3D source geometry on time-delay measurements of lensed type-Ia Supernovae
V. Bonvin, O. Tihhonova, M. Millon +4
It has recently been proposed that gravitationally lensed type-Ia supernovae can provide microlensing-free time-delay measurements provided that the measurement is taken during the…
GRAVITY: the VLTI 4-beam combiner for narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging
N. Blind, F. Eisenhauer, S. Gillessen +23
GRAVITY is the second generation Very Large Telescope Interferometer instrument for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging in the Near Infra-Red (NIR). It sh…
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…
The fiber coupler and beam stabilization system of the GRAVITY interferometer
O. Pfuhl, M. Haug, F. Eisenhauer +20
We present the installed and fully operational beam stabilization and fiber injection subsystem feeding the 2nd generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY. The interferometer GRAVITY requi…
The GRAVITY metrology system: modeling a metrology in optical fibers
N. Blind, H. Huber, F. Eisenhauer +20
GRAVITY is the second generation VLT Interferometer (VLTI) instrument for high-precision narrow-angle astrometry and phase-referenced interferometric imaging. The laser metrology s…
GRAVITY: the Calibration Unit
N. Blind, F. Eisenhauer, M. Haug +19
We present in this paper the design and characterisation of a new sub-system of the VLTI 2nd generation instrument GRAVITY: the Calibration Unit. The Calibration Unit provides all…
