GRAVITY: Microarcsecond Astrometry and Deep Interferometric Imaging with the VLT
Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings(2009)
摘要
We present the AO assisted, near-infrared VLTI instrument GRAVITY for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric phase referenced imaging of faint objects. With its two fibers per telescope beam. its internal wavefront sensors and fringe tracker, and a novel metrology concept, GRAVITY will not only push the sensitivity far beyond what is offered today, but will also advance the astrometric accuracy for UTs to 10 mu as. GRAVITY is designed to work with four telescopes, thus providing phase referenced imaging and astrometry for 6 baselines simultaneously. Its unique capabilities and sensitivity will open a new window for the observation of a wide range of objects, and-amongst others-will allow the study of motions within a few times the event horizon size of the Galactic Center black hole.
