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…
GRAVITY: the VLTI 4-beam combiner for narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging
N. Blind, F. Eisenhauer, S. Gillessen +23
GRAVITY is the second generation Very Large Telescope Interferometer instrument for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging in the Near Infra-Red (NIR). It sh…
The GRAVITY instrument software / High-level software
Leonard Burtscher, Ekkehard Wieprecht, Thomas Ott +30
GRAVITY is the four-beam, near- infrared, AO-assisted, fringe tracking, astrometric and imaging instrument for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). It is requiring the d…
The GRAVITY metrology system: narrow-angle astrometry via phase-shifting interferometry
M. Lippa, N. Blind, S. Gillessen +26
The VLTI instrument GRAVITY will provide very powerful astrometry by combining the light from four telescopes for two objects simultaneously. It will measure the angular separation…
The fiber coupler and beam stabilization system of the GRAVITY interferometer
O. Pfuhl, M. Haug, F. Eisenhauer +20
We present the installed and fully operational beam stabilization and fiber injection subsystem feeding the 2nd generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY. The interferometer GRAVITY requi…
