We have performed near-infrared monitoring observations of Sgr A*, the Galactic center radio source associated with a supermassive black hole, with the near-infrared camera CIAO and the 36-element...

Composition of the galactic center star cluster: Population analysis from adaptive optics narrow band spectral energy distributions (2009)

Buchholz, Rainer M., Schödel, Rainer, Eckart, Andreas

The goals of this work are to develop a new method to separate early and late type stellar components of a dense stellar cluster based on narrow band filters, to apply it to the central parsec of the...

The nuclear radio structure of X-ray bright AGN (2008)

Zuther, Jens, Fischer, Sebastian, Eckart, Andreas

The physical nature of the X-ray/radio correlation of AGN is still an unsolved question. High angular resolution observations are necessary to disentangle the associated energy dynamics into nuclear...

Opto-mechanical design of the spectrometers of GRAVITY: the 6-baseline K-band interferometer for the VLTI (2008)

Straubmeier, Christian, Eisenhauer, Frank, Perrin, Guy, Brandner, Wolfgang, Eckart, Andreas

GRAVITY is a 2nd generation VLTI instrument that operates in the K-band and uses up to 4 telescopes simultaneously. GRAVITY will provide interferometric astrometry of two objects in a 2 arcsecond...

Current and future opportunities for interferometric observations of the Galactic Center in the near- and mid-infrared (NIR/MIR) wavelength domain are highlighted. Main emphasis is being put on the...

The LINC-NIRVANA fringe and flexure tracker: Cryo-ambient mechanical design (2006)

Bertram, Thomas, Baumeister, Harald, Laun, Werner, Straubmeier, Christian, Rost, Steffen, Wang, Yeping, ...

The correction of atmospheric differential piston and instrumental flexure effects is mandatory for interferometric operation of the LBT NIR interferometric imaging camera LINC-NIRVANA. The task of...

Molecular outflow in the composite galaxy NGC6764 (2002)

Leon, Stephane, Eckart, Andreas, Laine, Seppo, Schinnerer, Eva

NGC 6764 is a composite galaxy exhibiting central activity (LINER) and recent massive star formation (Wolf-Rayet galaxy). We report new high-resolution interferometric data of the CO(1--0) and...

Infrared imaging and spectroscopy of companion candidates near the young stars HD 199143 and HD 358623 in Capricornius (2002)

Neuhaeuser, Ralph, Guenther, Eike, Mugrauer, Markus, Ott, Thomas, Eckart, Andreas

We present JHK images of the young (~20 Myrs) nearby (~48 pc) stars HD 199143 and HD 358623 to search for (sub-)stellar companions around them. The images were obtained in JHK with the speckle camera...
