Post-processing the VLTI fringe-tracking data: First measurements of stars

Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Roberto Abuter, Pierre Haguenauer +3

At the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, the purpose of the fringe-tracker FINITO is to stabilize the optical path differences between the beams, allowing longer integration tim…

First result with AMBER+FINITO on the VLTI: The high-precision angular diameter of V3879 Sgr

Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Bertrand Bauvir, Pierre Haguenauer +3

Our goal is to demonstrate the potential of the interferometric AMBER instrument linked with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) fringe-tracking facility FINITO to deriv…

Extreme adaptive optics imaging with a clear and well-corrected off-axis telescope sub-aperture

E. Serabyn, K. Wallace, M. Troy +4

Rather than using an adaptive optics (AO) system to correct a telescope s entire pupil, it can instead be used to more finely correct a smaller sub-aperture. Indeed, existing AO sy…

First Surface-resolved Results with the IOTA Imaging Interferometer: Detection of Asymmetries in AGB stars

S. Ragland, W. A. Traub, J. -P. Berger +20

We have measured non-zero closure phases for about 29% of our sample of 56 nearby Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, using the 3-telescope Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA)…

Bright Localized Near-Infrared Emission at 1-4 AU in the AB Aurigae Disk Revealed by IOTA Closure Phases

R. Millan-Gabet, J. D. Monnier, J. -P. Berger +13

We report on the detection of localized off-center emission at 1-4 AU in the circumstellar environment of the young stellar object AB Aurigae. We used closure phase measurements in…

Few Skewed Disks Found in First Closure-Phase Survey of Herbig Ae/Be stars

J. D. Monnier, J. -P. Berger, R. Millan-Gabet +13

Using the 3-telescope IOTA interferometer on Mt. Hopkins, we report results from the first near-infrared (lambda=1.65 mu) closure-phase survey of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). Thes…
