ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +15
We present recent enhancements to VLTI observing capabilities from a user-oriented perspective, together with new developments in ESO's Observation Handling Tools and end-to-end op…
GRAVITY for MATISSE -- Improving the MATISSE performance with the GRAVITY fringe tracker
J. Woillez, R. Petrov, R. Abuter +23
Context: MATISSE, the mid-infrared spectro-imaging instrument of VLTI, was designed to deliver its advertised performance when paired with an external second generation fringe trac…
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…
A catalogue of dual-field interferometric binary calibrators
M. Nowak, S. Lacour, R. Abuter +97
Dual-field interferometric observations with VLTI/GRAVITY sometimes require the use of a "binary calibrator", a binary star whose individual components remain unresolved by the int…
The Planet Formation Imager
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, Michael J. Ireland +36
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI, www.planetformationimager.org) is a next-generation infrared interferometer array with the primary goal of imaging the active phases of planet for…
Planet Formation Imager: Project Update
John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland, Stefan Kraus +2
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including…
Science with MATISSE
S. Wolf, B. Lopez, J. -Ch. Augereau +21
We present an overview of the scientific potential of MATISSE, the Multi Aperture mid-Infrared SpectroScopic Experiment for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. For this purpos…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): science vision and key requirements
Stefan Kraus, John D. Monnier, Michael J. Ireland +75
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) project aims to provide a strong scientific vision for ground-based optical astronomy beyond the upcoming generation of Extremely Large Telescopes…
Geometrical model fitting for interferometric data: GEM-FIND
D. Klotz, S. Sacuto, C. Paladini +2
We developed the tool GEM-FIND that allows to constrain the morphology and brightness distribution of objects. The software fits geometrical models to spectrally dispersed interfer…
