On-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array
Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Douglas R. Gies +10
Dual-field interferometry uses a bright reference star for real-time fringe tracking, allowing a second beam combiner to record long coherent integrations on a fainter off-axis sci…
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…
CHARA Array Delay Lines: Upgrades, Performance and Future Directions
Narsireddy Anugu, Nils H. Turner, Theo A. ten Brummelaar +12
Long baseline optical and infrared interferometric arrays achieve high angular resolution and enable detailed astrophysical measurements. Interferometers have enabled observations…
Characterisation of magnetic activity of M dwarfs. Possible impact on the surface brightness
R. V. Ibañez Bustos, A. P. Buccino, N. Nardetto +3
Context. M dwarfs are an ideal laboratory for hunting Earth-like planets, and the study of chromospheric activity is an important part of this task. On the one hand, its short-term…
Open loop calibration and closed loop non-perturbative estimation of the lateral errors of an adaptive optics system: examples with GRAVITY+ and CHARA experimental data
Anthony Berdeu, Henri Bonnet, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin +15
Performances of an adaptive optics (AO) system are directly linked with the quality of its alignment. During the instrument calibration, having open loop fast tools with a large ca…
