The MUSE second-generation VLT instrument
Bacon R., Accardo M., Adjali L. +65
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a second-generation VLT panoramic integral-field spectrograph currently in manufacturing, assembly and integration phase. MUSE has a…
CHARA Array adaptive optics: complex operational software and performance
Narsireddy Anugu, Theo ten Brummelaar, Nils H. Turner +18
The CHARA Array is the longest baseline optical interferometer in the world. Operated with natural seeing, it has delivered landmark sub-milliarcsecond results in the areas of stel…
Design of the HARMONI Pyramid WFS module
Noah Schwartz, Jean-François Sauvage, Edgard Renault +12
Current designs for all three extremely large telescopes show the overwhelming adoption of the pyramid wavefront sensor (P-WFS) as the WFS of choice for adaptive optics (AO) system…
The polarimetric imaging mode of VLT/SPHERE/IRDIS II: Characterization and correction of instrumental polarization effects
R. G. van Holstein, J. H. Girard, J. de Boer +31
Context. Circumstellar disks and self-luminous giant exoplanets or companion brown dwarfs can be characterized through direct-imaging polarimetry at near-infrared wavelengths. SPHE…
Calibration of quasi-static aberrations in exoplanet direct-imaging instruments with a Zernike phase-mask sensor. III. On-sky validation in VLT/SPHERE
A. Vigan, M. N'Diaye, K. Dohlen +12
Second-generation exoplanet imagers using extreme adaptive optics and coronagraphy have demonstrated their great potential for studying close circumstellar environments and for det…
SPHERE: the exoplanet imager for the Very Large Telescope
J. -L. Beuzit, A. Vigan, D. Mouillet +108
Observations of circumstellar environments to look for the direct signal of exoplanets and the scattered light from disks has significant instrumental implications. In the past 15…
