4 Sep 2015 | | Abstract: | The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is a strategic instrument
of the LBT designed for high-sensitivity, high-contrast, and high-resolution
infrared (1.5-13 $mu$m) imaging of nearby planetary systems. To carry out a
wide range of high-spatial resolution observations, it can combine the two
AO-corrected 8.4-m apertures of the LBT in various ways including direct
(non-interferometric) imaging, coronagraphy (APP and AGPM), Fizeau imaging,
non-redundant aperture masking, and nulling interferometry. It also has
broadband, narrowband, and spectrally dispersed capabilities. In this paper, we
review the performance of these modes in terms of exoplanet science
capabilities and describe recent instrumental milestones such as first-light
Fizeau images (with the angular resolution of an equivalent 22.8-m telescope)
and deep interferometric nulling observations. | | Source: | arXiv, 1509.1299 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
