Dust in the inner regions of debris disks around A stars

R. L. Akeson, D. R. Ciardi, R. Millan-Gabet +11

We present infrared interferometric observations of the inner regions of two A-star debris disks, beta Leo and zeta Lep, using the FLUOR instrument at the CHARA interferometer on b…

Phase Closure Image Reconstruction for Future VLTI Instrumentation

Mercedes E. Filho, Stephanie Renard, Paulo Garcia +21

Classically, optical and near-infrared interferometry have relied on closure phase techniques to produce images. Such techniques allow us to achieve modest dynamic ranges. In order…

Phase Referencing in Optical Interferometry

Mercedes E. Filho, Paulo Garcia, Gilles Duvert +20

One of the aims of next generation optical interferometric instrumentation is to be able to make use of information contained in the visibility phase to construct high dynamic rang…

Prospects for near-infrared characterisation of hot Jupiters with VSI

S. Renard, O. Absil, J. -P. Berger +3

In this paper, we study the feasibility of obtaining near-infrared spectra of bright extrasolar planets with the 2nd generation VLTI Spectro-Imager instrument (VSI), which has the…
