The PRIMA Fringe Sensor Unit
Context. The Fringe Sensor Unit (FSU) is the central element of the Phase Referenced Imaging and Micro-arcsecond Astrometry (PRIMA) dual-feed facility and provides fringe sensing for all observation modes, comprising off-axis fringe tracking, phase referenced imaging, and high-accuracy narrow-angle astrometry. It is installed at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) and successfully se...
متن کاملModels for VLTI fringe sensor units: FINITO and PRIMA FSUs
The VLTI system foresees two generations of fringe sensor: FINITO and PRIMA FSUs. The former is dedicated to H band; it controls the internal OPD with a temporal modulation with an external reference OPD. The latter, working with the ABCD model and in K band, is based on the introduction of known phase offsets for the interferometric signal (spatial phase modulation) and on the measurement of t...
متن کاملAlternative fringe sensor for DARWIN mission
Large stellar telescope is indispensable for astronomy. Aperture synthesis is a well-known technique to simulate a large space telescope by an array of small telescopes. Condition for aperture synthesis is that the light of the telescopes have to be combined coherently. Therefore, an interferometric Fringe Sensor (FS) to detect and stabilize the Optical Path Difference (OPD) between light from ...
متن کاملThe Cartel-Fringe Equilibrium with Sluggish Demand
The demand for some products, such as energy, does not instantaneously respond to price changes. In fact, sluggishness of the demand is an important characteristic of energy and oil markets. This study examines the effect of demand sluggishness on the price and output of a fossil fuel industry in which a cartel and a fringe firm supply in the market. The cartel has larger reserves and less cost...
متن کاملView from the Fringe of the Fringe
Formal analysis remains outside the mainstream of system design practice. Interactive methods and tools are regarded by some to be on the margin of useful research in this area. Although it may seem relatively academic to some, it is vital that this the so-called “theorem proving approach” continue to be as vigorously explored as approaches favoring highly automated reasoning. Design derivation...
