L-band nulling interferometry at the VLTI with Asgard/NOTT: status and plans
Denis Defrère, Romain Laugier, Marc-Antoine Martinod +43
NOTT (formerly Hi-5) is the L'-band (3.5-4.0~microns) nulling interferometer of Asgard, an instrument suite in preparation for the VLTI visitor focus. The primary scientific object…
Characterising the Atmospheres of Transiting Planets with a Dedicated Space Telescope
M. Tessenyi, M. Ollivier, G. Tinetti +12
Exoplanetary science is among the fastest evolving fields of today's astronomical research. Ground-based planet-hunting surveys alongside dedicated space missions (Kepler, CoRoT) a…
Current results of the PERSEE testbench: the cophasing control and the polychromatic null rate
Julien Lozi, Frederic Cassaing, Jean-Michel Le Duigou +11
Stabilizing a nulling interferometer at a nanometric level is the key issue to obtain deep null depths. The PERSEE breadboard has been designed to study and optimize the operation…
PERSEE: Experimental results on the cophased nulling bench
Julien Lozi, Frédéric Cassaing, Jean-Michel Le Duigou +15
Nulling interferometry is still a promising method to characterize spectra of exoplanets. One of the main issues is to cophase at a nanometric level each arm despite satellite dist…
