The SPHERE exoplanet imager: a new management paradigm? (2008)
Wildi, Francois, Beuzit, Jean-Luc, Feldt, Markus, Mouillet, David, Dohlen, Kjetil, Puget, Pascal
The SPHERE is an exo-solar planet imager, which goal is to detect giant exo-solar planets in the vicinity of bright stars and to characterize them through spectroscopic and polarimetric observations....
SPHERE: a planet finder instrument for the VLT (2008)
Beuzit, Jean-Luc, Feldt, Markus, Dohlen, Kjetil, Mouillet, David, Puget, Pascal, Wildi, Francois, ...
Direct detection and spectral characterization of extra-solar planets is one of the most exciting but also one of the most challenging areas in modern astronomy. The challenge consists in the very...
SPHERE: A planet finder instrument for the VLT (2006)
Dohlen, Kjetil, Beuzit, Jean-Luc, Feldt, Markus, Mouillet, David, Puget, Pascal, Antichi, Jacopo, ...
The Planet Finder instrument for ESO's VLT telescope, scheduled for first light in 2010, aims to detect giant extra-solar planets in the vicinity of bright stars and to characterise the objects found...
Mid-Infrared Imaging of the Post-AGB Star AC Herculis with the MMT Adaptive Optics System (2003)
Close, Laird M., Biller, Beth, Hoffmann, William F., Hinz, Phil M., Bieging, John H., Wildi, Francois, ...
We utilized the MMT's unique deformable secondary adaptive optics system to produce high-resolution (FWHM=0.3"), very high Strehl mid-infrared (9.8, 11.7 & 18 micron) images of the post-AGB star AC...
Close, Laird M., Wildi, Francois, Lloyd-Hart, Michael, Brusa, Guido, Fisher, Don, Miller, Doug, ...
We present the first scientific images obtained with a deformable secondary mirror adaptive optics system. We utilized the 6.5m MMT AO system to produce high-resolution (FWHM=0.07'') near infrared...
