Laboratory characterization of Hierarchical Fringe Tracking
Roxanne Ligi, Stéphane Lagarde, Romain Petrov +7
One of the main limitations in long-baseline interferometry lies in its fringe tracking sensitivity. The challenge is therefore to maximize this sensitivity while minimizing the sp…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Mass of the metallic A-type binary Aur
J. Jonák, D. Mourard, J. D. Monnier +23
With the capabilities of the new visible CHARA/SPICA instrument and the multiple spectral band operation of CHARA, our goal is to resolve orbits of short-period binaries and develo…
CHARA/SPICA: The six-telescope visible combiner and near-infrared fringe tracker for the CHARA Array
D. Mourard, P. Bério, C. Bailet +43
The suite called Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array (SPICA) has two interferometric instruments installed at the focus of the CHARA Array located at Mount Wilson,…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Towards homogeneous FGK stars parameters and surface-brightness color relation in the context of PLATO space mission
Romina V. Ibañez Bustos, Denis Mourard, Nicolas Nardetto +20
The estimation of stellar angular diameters can be performed from the surface brightness - color relation (SBCR) and photometry. The SBCR have been considered by the PLATO space mi…
Recent and Upcoming Upgrades for MIRC-X and MYSTIC on the CHARA Array
Noura Ibrahim, Mayra Gutierrez, John D. Monnier +17
MIRC-X and MYSTIC are six-telescope near-infrared beam (1.08-2.38 m) combiners at the CHARA Array on Mt Wilson CA, USA. Ever since the commissioning of MIRC-X (J and H bands) in…
