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…
The GRAVITY metrology system: modeling a metrology in optical fibers
N. Blind, H. Huber, F. Eisenhauer +20
GRAVITY is the second generation VLT Interferometer (VLTI) instrument for high-precision narrow-angle astrometry and phase-referenced interferometric imaging. The laser metrology s…
GRAVITY: the Calibration Unit
N. Blind, F. Eisenhauer, M. Haug +19
We present in this paper the design and characterisation of a new sub-system of the VLTI 2nd generation instrument GRAVITY: the Calibration Unit. The Calibration Unit provides all…
The interferometric baselines and GRAVITY astrometric error budget
S. Lacour, F. Eisenhauer, S. Gillessen +9
GRAVITY is a new generation beam combination instrument for the VLTI. Its goal is to achieve microarsecond astrometric accuracy between objects separated by a few arcsec. This $10^…
The Galactic Center cloud G2 and its gas streamer
Oliver Pfuhl, Stefan Gillessen, Frank Eisenhauer +10
We present new, deep near-infrared SINFONI @ VLT integral field spectroscopy of the gas cloud G2 in the Galactic Center, from late summer 2013 and spring 2014. G2 is visible in rec…
GCIRS 7, a pulsating M1 supergiant at the Galactic centre. Physical properties and age
T. Paumard, O. Pfuhl, F. Martins +10
The stellar population in the central parsec of the Galaxy is dominated by an old (several Gyr) population, but young, massive stars dominate the luminosity function. We have studi…
