Characterization of integrated optics components for the second generation of VLTI instruments
S. Lacour, L. Jocou, T. Moulin +10
Two of the three instruments proposed to ESO for the second generation instrumentation of the VLTI would use integrated optics for beam combination. Several design are studied, inc…
GRAVITY: getting to the event horizon of Sgr A*
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, W. Brandner +45
We present the second-generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY, which currently is in the preliminary design phase. GRAVITY is specifically designed to observe highly relativistic motion…
Imaging reconstruction for infrared interferometry: first images of YSOs environment
S. Renard, F. Malbet, E. Thiebaut +1
The study of protoplanetary disks, where the planets are believed to form, will certainly allow the formation of our Solar System to be understood. To conduct observations of these…
Prospects for near-infrared characterisation of hot Jupiters with VSI
S. Renard, O. Absil, J. -P. Berger +3
In this paper, we study the feasibility of obtaining near-infrared spectra of bright extrasolar planets with the 2nd generation VLTI Spectro-Imager instrument (VSI), which has the…
The origin of hydrogen line emission for five Herbig Ae/Be stars spatially resolved by VLTI/AMBER spectro-interferometry
S. Kraus, K. -H. Hofmann, M. Benisty +14
To trace the accretion and outflow processes around YSOs, diagnostic spectral lines such as the BrG 2.166 micron line are widely used, although due to a lack of spatial resolution,…
VSI: the VLTI spectro-imager
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +51
The VLTI Spectro Imager (VSI) was proposed as a second-generation instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer providing the ESO community with spectrally-resolved, near-i…
