Alignment and preliminary outcomes of an ELT-size instrument to a very large telescope: LINC-NIRVANA at LBT
M. Bergomi, L. Marafatto, V. Viotto +14
LINC-NIRVANA (LN) is a high resolution, near infrared imager that uses a multiple field-of-view, layer-oriented, multi-conjugate AO system, consisting of four multi-pyramid wavefro…
The calibration procedure of the LINC-NIRVANA ground and high layer WFS
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Kalyan Kumar Radhakrishnan Santhakumari, Valentina Viotto +12
LINC--NIRVANA (LN) is an MCAO module currently mounted on the Rear Bent Gregorian focus of the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). It mounts a camera originally designed to realize th…
An angular-selective electron source for the KATRIN experiment
M. Beck, K. Bokeloh, H. Hein +10
The KATRIN experiment is going to search for the average mass of the electron antineutrino with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2. It uses a retardation spectrometer of MAC-E filter type…
Pathfinder first light: alignment, calibration, and commissioning of the LINC-NIRVANA ground-layer adaptive optics subsystem
Derek Kopon, Al Conrad, Carmelo Arcidiacono +15
We present descriptions of the alignment and calibration tests of the Pathfinder, which achieved first light during our 2013 commissioning campaign at the LBT. The full LINC-NIRVAN…
Laboratory Results and Status Update for Pathfinder at LBT, The LINC-NIRVANA NGS Ground- Layer AO Subsystem
Derek Kopon, Al Conrad, Thomas Bertram +20
The full LINC-NIRVANA instrument will be one of the most complex ground-based astronomical systems ever built. It will consist of multiple subsystems, including two multi-conjugate…
The ESPRI project: astrometric exoplanet search with PRIMA I. Instrument description and performance of first light observations
J. Sahlmann, T. Henning, D. Queloz +42
The ESPRI project relies on the astrometric capabilities offered by the PRIMA facility of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer for the discovery and study of planetary systems.…
