The GRAVITY+ Project: Towards All-sky, Faint-Science, High-Contrast Near-Infrared Interferometry at the VLTI
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, Roberto Abuter +134
The GRAVITY instrument has been revolutionary for near-infrared interferometry by pushing sensitivity and precision to previously unknown limits. With the upgrade of GRAVITY and th…
CHARA/SPICA: a 6-telescope visible instrument for the CHARA Array
Denis Mourard, Philippe Berio, Cyril Pannetier +25
With a possible angular resolution down to 0.1-0.2 millisecond of arc using the 330 m baselines and the access to the 600-900 nm spectral domain, the CHARA Array is ideally configu…
The binary system of the spinning-top Be star Achernar
P. Kervella, S. Borgniet, A. Domiciano de Souza +16
Achernar, the closest and brightest classical Be star, presents rotational flattening, gravity darkening, occasional emission lines due to a gaseous disk, and an extended polar win…
The crossed-sine wavefront sensor: first tests and results
Laura Schreiber, Yan Feng, Alain Spang +4
The crossed-sine wavefront sensor (WFS) is a pupil plane wavefront sensor that measures the first derivatives of the wavefront. It is made by three main components: a gradient tran…
RISTRETTO: coronagraph and AO designs enabling High Dispersion Coronagraphy at 2 lambda/D
N. Blind, B. Chazelas, J. Kühn +13
RISTRETTO is the evolution of the original idea of coupling the VLT instruments SPHERE and ESPRESSO, aiming at High Dispersion Coronagraphy. RISTRETTO is a visitor instrument that…
Building a GRAVITY+ Adaptive Optics Test Bench
The Gravity Plus Consortium, Florentin Millour, Philippe Berio +22
We present the testbench aimed at integrating the GRAVITY+ adaptive optics GPAO. It consists of two independent elements, one reproducing the Coud{é} focus of the telescope, includ…
