VLTI/MATISSE observations of the hot dust around Pictoris: Observing faint objects with MATISSE

P. Priolet, J. -C. Augereau, J. Milli +32

Context: Hot exozodiacal dust has been detected around approximately 20% of nearby main-sequence stars, indicating that it is a common feature of extrasolar planetary systems. Howe…

GRIP: a generic data reduction package for nulling interferometry

Marc-Antoine Martinod, Denis Defrere, Romain Laugier +4

Nulling interferometry is a powerful observing technique to study exoplanets and circumstellar dust at separations too small for direct imaging with single-dish telescopes. With re…

Asgard/NOTT: water vapor and CO atmospheric dispersion compensation system

Romain Laugier, Denis Defrère, Michael Ireland +8

To leverage the angular resolution of interferometry at high contrast, one must employ specialized beam-combiners called interferometric nullers. Nullers discard part of the astrop…
