The case for optical interferometric polarimetry
Nicholas M. Elias, Carol E. Jones, Henrique R. Schmitt +3
Within the last 10 years, long-baseline optical interferometry (LBOI) has benefited significantly from increased sensitivity, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution, e.g., mea…
delta Cen: a new binary Be star detected by VLTI/AMBER spectro-interferometry
Anthony Meilland, Florentin Millour, Philippe Stee +5
We study the Be star Cen circumstellar disk using long-baseline interferometry which is the only observing technique capable of resolving spatially and spectroscopically object…
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…
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…
Milli-arcsecond astrophysics with VSI, the VLTI spectro-imager in the ELT era
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +49
Nowadays, compact sources like surfaces of nearby stars, circumstellar environments of stars from early stages to the most evolved ones and surroundings of active galactic nuclei c…
