Single-mode waveguides for GRAVITY II. Single-mode fibers and Fiber Control Unit
G. Perrin, L. Jocou, K. Perraut +22
The 2nd generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY is a two-field infrared interferometer operating in the K band between 1.97 and 2.43 m with either the four 8 m or the four 1.8 m tele…
CRIRES on sky at the ESO Very Large Telescope
R. J. Dorn, P. Bristow, J. V. Smoker +49
The CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES) Upgrade project CRIRES extended the capabilities of CRIRES. It transformed this VLT instrument into a cross-dispersed spe…
Detector Systems Engineering for Extremely Large Instruments
Elizabeth M. George, Naidu Bezawada, Derek Ives +22
The scientific detector systems for the ESO ELT first-light instruments, HARMONI, MICADO, and METIS, together will require 27 science detectors: seventeen 2.5 m cutoff H4RG-15 d…
Methods for multiple telescope beam imaging and guiding in the near infrared
N. Anugu, A. Amorim, P. Gordo +10
Atmospheric turbulence and precise measurement of the astrometric baseline vector between any two telescopes are two major challenges in implementing phase referenced interferometr…
First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130
GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…
The metrology system of the VLTI instrument GRAVITY
Magdalena Lippa, Stefan Gillessen, Nicolas Blind +24
The VLTI instrument GRAVITY combines the beams from four telescopes and provides phase-referenced imaging as well as precision-astrometry of order 10 microarcseconds by observing t…
