Eddington limited starbursts in the central 10pc of AGN, and the Torus in NGC1068
R. Davies, R. Genzel, L. Tacconi +2
We present results from a survey of nearby AGN using the near infrared adaptive optics integral field spectrograph SINFONI. These data enable us to probe the distribution and kinem…
Evolution of local Ultraluminous mergers from NIR spectroscopy
K. M. Dasyra, L. J. Tacconi, R. I. Davies +4
We present results from our VLT Large Program to study the dynamical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We have so far obtained near-infrared high-resolution IS…
Near-infrared adaptive optics observations of galaxy clusters: Abell 262 at z=0.0157, J1836.3CR at z=0.414, and PKS 0743-006 at z=0.994
W. Hackenberg, A. Eckart, R. I. Davies +5
We report on high angular resolution near-infrared (NIR) observations of three galaxy clusters at different redshifts using adaptive optics (AO). In the case of the barred spiral \…
Rayleigh scattering and laser spot elongation problems at ALFA
E. Viard, F. Delplancke, N. Hubin +2
This paper describes the qualitative effects of LGS spot elongation and Rayleigh scattering on ALFA wavefront sensor images. An analytical model of Rayleigh scattering and a numeri…
The ALFA laser guide star: Operation and Results
R. Davies, A. Eckart, W. Hackenberg +4
The importance of laser guide stars to the practical usefulness of adaptive optics cannot be understated, and yet there are very few working systems. This contribution discusses th…
First Observational Results from ALFA with Natural and Laser Guide Stars
R. I. Davies, W. Hackenberg, T. Ott +5
The sodium laser guide star adaptive optics system ALFA, which is installed at the Calar Alto 3.5-m telescope, has been undergoing an intensive optimisation phase. Observations usi…
