ASTRA: ASTrometry and phase-Referencing Astronomy on the Keck interferometer
J. Woillez, R. Akeson, M. Colavita +24
ASTRA (ASTrometric and phase-Referencing Astronomy) is an upgrade to the existing Keck Interferometer which aims at providing new self-phase referencing (high spectral resolution o…
First faint dual-field phase-referenced observations on the Keck interferometer
Julien Woillez, Peter Wizinowich, Rachel Akeson +19
Ground-based long baseline interferometers have long been limited in sensitivity by the short integration periods imposed by atmospheric turbulence. The first observation fainter t…
Probing local density inhomogeneities in the circumstellar disk of a Be star using the new spectro-astrometry mode at the Keck interferometer
J. -U. Pott, J. Woillez, S. Ragland +23
We report on the successful science verification phase of a new observing mode at the Keck interferometer, which provides a line-spread function width and sampling of 150km/s at K'…
Astrometry with the Keck-Interferometer: the ASTRA project and its science
Jorg-Uwe Pott, Julien Woillez, Rachel L. Akeson +22
The sensitivity and astrometry upgrade ASTRA of the Keck Interferometer is introduced. After a brief overview of the underlying interferometric principles, the technology and conce…
Milliarcsecond N-Band Observations of the Nova RS Ophiuchi: First Science with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
R. K. Barry, W. C. Danchi, W. A. Traub +38
We report observations of the nova RS Ophiuchi (RS Oph) using the Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN), approximately 3.8 days following the most recent outburst that occurred on 2006…
The dusty AGB star RS CrB: first mid-infrared interferometric observations with the Keck Telescopes
B. Mennesson, C. Koresko, M. J. Creech-Eakman +2
We report interferometric observations of the semi-regular variable star RS CrB, a red giant with strong silicate emission features. The data were among the first long baseline mid…
