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…
AMBER Task Force February 2008 run report
F. Malbet, G. Duvert, A. Chelli +1
AMBER was installed in March 2004 in the VLTI focal lab of the VLT observatory in Cerro Paranal run by ESO. Since then, there have been 4 commissioning runs and additional VLTI inf…
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…
System overview of the VLTI Spectro-Imager
L. Jocou, J. P. Berger, F. Malbet +30
The VLTI Spectro Imager project aims to perform imaging with a temporal resolution of 1 night and with a maximum angular resolution of 1 milliarcsecond, making best use of the Very…
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…
