Cold and eccentric: a high-spectral resolution view of 51 Eri b with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, G. Chauvin +35
Discovered almost 10 years ago, the giant planet 51 Eridani b is one of the least separated (0.2 arcsec) and faintest (J = 19.74 mag) directly imaged exoplanets known to date. Its…
Characterization of AF Lep b at high spectral resolution with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, J. Costes +41
Since the recent discovery of the directly imaged super-Jovian planet AF Lep b, several studies have been conducted to characterize its atmosphere and constrain its orbital paramet…
High contrast at short separation with VLTI/GRAVITY: Bringing Gaia companions to light
N. Pourré, T. O. Winterhalder, J. -B. Le Bouquin +173
Since 2019, GRAVITY has provided direct observations of giant planets and brown dwarfs at separations of down to 95 mas from the host star. Some of these observations have provided…
First light of VLT/HiRISE: High-resolution spectroscopy of young giant exoplanets
A. Vigan, M. El Morsy, M. Lopez +46
A major endeavor of this decade is the direct characterization of young giant exoplanets at high spectral resolution to determine the composition of their atmosphere and infer thei…
CRIRES on sky at the ESO Very Large Telescope
R. J. Dorn, P. Bristow, J. V. Smoker +49
The CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES) Upgrade project CRIRES extended the capabilities of CRIRES. It transformed this VLT instrument into a cross-dispersed spe…
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…
NAOMI: the adaptive optics system of the Auxiliary Telescopes of the VLTI
Woillez J., Abad J. A., Abuter R. +80
The tip-tilt stabilisation system of the 1.8 m Auxiliary Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer was never dimensioned for robust fringe tracking, except when atmosph…
Sensing and control of segmented mirrors with a pyramid wavefront sensor in the presence of spiders
Noah Schwartz, Jean-François Sauvage, Carlos Correia +9
The segmentation of the telescope pupil (by spiders & the segmented M4) create areas of phase isolated by the width of the spiders on the wavefront sensor (WFS), breaking the spati…
The adaptive optics modes for HARMONI: from Classical to Laser Assisted Tomographic AO
B. Neichel, T. Fusco, J. -F. Sauvage +25
HARMONI is a visible and NIR integral field spectrograph, providing the E-ELT's core spectroscopic capability at first light. HARMONI will work at the diffraction limit of the E-EL…
Concept and optical design of the cross-disperser module for CRIRES+
E. Oliva, A. Tozzi, D. Ferruzzi +31
CRIRES, the ESO high resolution infrared spectrometer, is a unique instrument which allows astronomers to access a parameter space which up to now was largely uncharted. In its cur…
MACAO-CRIRES, a step towards high-resolution spectroscopy
J. Paufique, P. Biereichel, R. Donaldson +14
High resolution spectroscopy made an important step ahead 10 years ago, leading for example to the discovery of numerous exoplanets. But the IR did not benefit from this improvemen…
On-sky results of the adaptive optics MACAO for the new IR-spectrograph CRIRES at VLT
J. Paufique, P. Biereichel, B. Delabre +16
The adaptive optics MACAO has been implemented in 6 focii of the VLT observatory, in three different flavors. We present in this paper the results obtained during the commissioning…
