The GRAVITY Coudé Infrared Adaptive Optics (CIAO) system for the VLT Interferometer
Sarah Kendrew, Stefan Hippler, Wolfgang Brandner +19
GRAVITY is a second generation instrument for the VLT Interferometer, designed to enhance the near-infrared astrometric and spectro-imaging capabilities of VLTI. Combining beams fr…
Layer Oriented Wavefront sensor for MAD on Sky operations
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Matteo Lombini, Roberto Ragazzoni +15
The Multiconjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) has successfully demonstrated on sky both Star Oriented (SO) and Layer Oriented (LO) multiconjugate adaptive optics techniques…
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…
Simulations of Adaptive Optics with a Laser Guide Star for SINFONI
Anthony G A Brown, Enrico Fedrigo, Paul van der Werf
The SINFONI instrument for ESO's VLT combines integral field spectroscopy and adaptive optics (AO). We discuss detailed simulations of the adaptive optics module. These simulations…
SINFONI - Integral Field Spectroscopy at 50 milli-arcsecond resolution with the ESO VLT
F. Eisenhauer, H. Bonnet, R. Abuter +21
SINFONI is an adaptive optics assisted near-infrared integral field spectrometer for the ESO VLT. The Adaptive Optics Module (built by the ESO Adaptive Optics Group) is a 60-elemen…
