Characterization of integrated optics components for the second generation of VLTI instruments
S. Lacour, L. Jocou, T. Moulin +10
Two of the three instruments proposed to ESO for the second generation instrumentation of the VLTI would use integrated optics for beam combination. Several design are studied, inc…
GRAVITY: getting to the event horizon of Sgr A*
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, W. Brandner +45
We present the second-generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY, which currently is in the preliminary design phase. GRAVITY is specifically designed to observe highly relativistic motion…
System overview of the VLTI Spectro-Imager
L. Jocou, J. P. Berger, F. Malbet +30
The VLTI Spectro Imager project aims to perform imaging with a temporal resolution of 1 night and with a maximum angular resolution of 1 milliarcsecond, making best use of the Very…
Near-IR Spectrograph for VSI (VLTI Spectro Imager): dispersing the light from an integrated optics beam-combiner
D. Lorenzetti, G. Li Causi, R. Speziali +7
We present the optical and cryo-mechanical solutions for the Spectrograph of VSI (VLTI Spectro-Imager), the second generation near-infrared (J, H and K bands) interferometric instr…
VSI: the VLTI spectro-imager
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +51
The VLTI Spectro Imager (VSI) was proposed as a second-generation instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer providing the ESO community with spectrally-resolved, near-i…
Milli-arcsecond astrophysics with VSI, the VLTI spectro-imager in the ELT era
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +49
Nowadays, compact sources like surfaces of nearby stars, circumstellar environments of stars from early stages to the most evolved ones and surroundings of active galactic nuclei c…
