Milliarcsecond N-Band Observations of the Nova RS Ophiuchi: First Science with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
R. K. Barry, W. C. Danchi, W. A. Traub +38
We report observations of the nova RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph) using the Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN), approximately 3.8 days following the most recent outburst that occurred on 2006…
First Images of R Aquarii and its Asymmetric HO Shell
S. Ragland, H. Le Coroller, E. Pluzhnik +7
We report imaging observations of the symbotic long-period Mira variable R Aquarii (R Aqr) at near-infrared and radio wavelengths. The near-infrared observations were made with the…
Stellar and Molecular Radii of a Mira Star: First Observations with the Keck Interferometer Grism
J. A. Eisner, J. R. Graham, R. L. Akeson +6
Using a new grism at the Keck Interferometer, we obtained spectrally dispersed (R ~ 230) interferometric measurements of the Mira star R Vir. These data show that the measured radi…
No Expanding Fireball: Resolving the Recurrent Nova RS Ophiuchi with Infrared Interferometry
J. D. Monnier, R. K. Barry, W. A. Traub +17
Following the recent outburst of the recurrent nova RS Oph on 2006 Feb 12, we measured its near-infrared size using the IOTA, Keck, and PTI Interferometers at multiple epochs. The…
First Surface-resolved Results with the IOTA Imaging Interferometer: Detection of Asymmetries in AGB stars
S. Ragland, W. A. Traub, J. -P. Berger +20
We have measured non-zero closure phases for about 29% of our sample of 56 nearby Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, using the 3-telescope Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA)…
Robust determination of optical path difference: fringe tracking at the IOTA interferometer
Ettore Pedretti, Wesley A. Traub, John D. Monnier +7
We describe the fringe packet tracking system used to equalise the optical path lengths at the Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) interferometer. The measurement of closure ph…
