Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
Analysis of on-sky MOAO performance of CANARY using natural guide stars
Fabrice Vidal, Eric Gendron, Gerard Rousset +13
The first on-sky results obtained by CANARY, the Multi-Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO) demonstrator, are analysed. The data were recorded at the William Herschel Telescope, at the en…
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
VVV DR1: The First Data Release of the Milky Way Bulge and Southern Plane from the Near-Infrared ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
VLT-MAD observations of the core of 30 Doradus
M. A. Campbell, C. J. Evans, A. D. Mackey +5
We present H- and Ks-band imaging of three fields at the centre of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud, obtained as part of the Science Demonstration programme with the Multi-…
Diversity among other worlds: characterization of exoplanets by direct detection
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, A. Aylward +34
The physical characterization of exoplanets will require to take spectra at several orbital positions. For that purpose, a direct imaging capability is necessary. Direct imaging re…
