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…
METIS for ELT: optical alignment and testing of the IFU of the LM-band spectrometer
Lawrence Bissell, Éamonn Harvey, Stephen Todd +7
The METIS LMS (LM-band Spectrometer) is a high-resolution (R>100,000) mid-infrared integral field spectrometer for the ESO ELT. The instrument provides the capability to measure in…
The complex inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 100453 with VLTI/MATISSE
L. N. A. van Haastere, J. Varga, M. R. Hogerheijde +35
The inner regions of planet-forming disks hold invaluable insights for our understanding of planet formation. The disk around the Herbig star HD 100453 presents one such environmen…
The MATISSE view of the inner region of the RY Tau protoplanetary disk
J. S. Martin, J. Kobus, J. Varga +44
The T-Tauri type young stellar object RY Tau exhibits a dust depleted inner cavity characteristic of a transition disk. We constrain the spatial distribution and mineralogy of dust…
METIS high-contrast imaging: from final design to manufacturing and testing
Olivier Absil, Matthew Kenworthy, Christian Delacroix +21
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) is one of the first-generation scientific instruments for the ELT, built under the supervision of ESO by a consortium of resear…
MATISSE, the VLTI mid-infrared imaging spectro-interferometer
B. Lopez, S. Lagarde, R. G. Petrov +150
Context:Optical interferometry is at a key development stage. ESO's VLTI has established a stable, robust infrastructure for long-baseline interferometry for general astronomical o…
