متن کاملNear-Infrared Fiber Imager for the VLTI
For detection of massive close-in exo-planets around other stars, a contrast of ∼ 0.3% is sufficient and can be achieved with state-of-the-art single-mode fibers as spatial filter. For lower-mass planets, much higher accuracy is neccessary. Apart from the atmosphere, there are several sources of noise which degrade the phase stability of interferometers based on bulk optics by changes in the op...
متن کاملStudy of the atmospheric refraction in a single mode instrument - Application to AMBER/VLTI
This paper presents a study of the atmospheric refraction and its effect on the light coupling efficiency in an instrument using single-mode optical fibers. We show the analytical approach which allowed us to assess the need to correct the refraction in Jand H-bands while observing with an 8-m Unit Telescope. We then developed numerical simulations to go further in calculations. The hypotheses ...
متن کاملInterferometric observations of the Mira star o Ceti with the VLTI/VINCI instrument in the near-infrared
We present K -band commissioning observations of the Mira star prototype o Cet obtained at the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) with the VLT INterferometer Commissioning Instrument (VINCI) and two siderostats. The observations were carried out between 2001 October and December, in 2002 January and December, and in 2003 January. Rosseland angular radii are derived from the measured...
متن کاملWolf-Rayet stars probed by AMBER/VLTI
Massive stars deeply influence their surroundings by their luminosity and the injection of kinetic energy. So far, they have mostly been studied with spatially unresolved observations, although evidence of geometrical complexity of their wind are numerous. Interferometry can provide spatially resolved observations of massive stars and their immediate vicinity. Specific geometries (disks, jets, ...
