A self-calibration approach for optical long baseline interferometry imaging
Serge Meimon, Laurent M. Mugnier, Guy Le Besnerais
Current optical interferometers are affected by unknown turbulent phases on each telescope. In the field of radio-interferometry, the self-calibration technique is a powerful tool…
On-Line Long-Exposure Phase Diversity: a Powerful Tool for Sensing Quasi-Static Aberrations of Extreme Adaptive Optics Imaging Systems
L. M. Mugnier, J. -F. Sauvage, T. Fusco +2
The phase diversity technique is a useful tool to measure and pre-compensate for quasi-static aberrations, in particular non-common path aberrations, in an adaptive optics correcte…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
The limb-darkened Arcturus; Imaging with the IOTA/IONIC interferometer
S. Lacour, S. Meimon, E. Thiebaut +14
This paper is an H band interferometric examination of Arcturus, a star frequently used as a spatial and spectral calibrator. Using the IOTA 3 telescope interferometer, we performe…
Post processing of differential images for direct extrasolar planet detection from the ground
J. -F. Sauvage, L. Mugnier, T. Fusco +1
The direct imaging from the ground of extrasolar planets has become today a major astronomical and biological focus. This kind of imaging requires simultaneously the use of a dedic…
Hot Very Small dust Grains in NGC 1068 seen in jet induced structures thanks to VLT/NACO adaptive optics
Daniel Rouan, Francois Lacombe, Eric Gendron +12
We present K, L and M diffraction-limited images of NGC 1068 obtained with NAOS+CONICA at VLT/YEPUN over a 3.5" field around the central engine. Hot dust (Tcol = 550-650 K) is foun…
