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…

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…
