Commissioning and on-sky performance verification of iLocater
Marshall C. Johnson, Marcelo Tala Pinto, Jonathan Crass +59
The paper describes the commissioning and first on‑sky performance of iLocater, a high‑resolution near‑infrared spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope, demonstrating its abi…
Shocks, Winds, and a Torus: The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Resolves the Active Nucleus of NGC 4151
Jacob W. Isbell, Steve Ertel, Makoto Kishimoto +12
We present mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). We took open-loop Fizeau images with 66-104 m…
Wide Separation Planets In Time (WISPIT): Discovery of a Gap H Protoplanet WISPIT 2b with MagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Richelle F. van Capelleveen, Gabriel Weible +34
Excellent (<25 mas) H images of the star TYC 5709-354-1 led to the discovery of a rare H protoplanet. This star was discovered by the WISPIT survey to have a large multi-…
Direct imaging of AGN outflows and their origin with the 23 m Large Binocular Telescope
Jacob W. Isbell, Steve Ertel, Jörg-Uwe Pott +17
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are a key component of galaxy evolution due to feedback on the host from its supermassive black hole. The morphology of warm, in- and outflowing dusty…
Resolving the Young 2 Cygni Run-away Star into a Binary using iLocater
Justin R. Crepp, Jonathan Crass, Andrew J. Bechter +30
Precision radial velocity (RV) spectrographs that use adaptive optics (AO) show promise to advance telescope observing capabilities beyond those of seeing-limited designs. We are b…
Little iLocater: paving the way for iLocater
Robert J. Harris, Jonathan Crass, Marshall C. Johnson +10
Diffraction-limited radial velocity instruments offer a pathway towards improved precision and stability, and the exploration of new parameter spaces at high spatial and spectral r…
