The Navy Precision Optical Interferometer for SSA applications: an update
The Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) has been at the forefront of developing Interferometric tools for both Space Situational Awareness and astrophysical imaging. In 2009 we were the first group to attain fringes on a GEO satellite. Since then we have developed more sophisticated modelling tools and at the same time we have started to commission more and more stations. NPOI is now a...
متن کاملIssn 1845–8319 Binary Studies with the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer
We present recent results from observations of binary and multiple systems made with the Navy Precision Optical Interferometer (NPOI) on ζ and σ Orionis A, ξ Tauri, HR 6493, and b Persei. We explain how the orbital modeling is performed and show that even triple systems can be constrained with the data.
متن کاملFEROS, the Fiber-fed Extended Range Optical Spectrograph for the ESO 1.52-m Telescope
FEROS is a fiber-fed bench-mounted prism-crossdispersed echelle spectrograph for the ESO 1.52-m telescope at La Silla. It works in quasi Littrow mode and in white pupil configuration. For the object and the nearby sky, the complete optical spectrum from 370–860 nm is recorded in one exposure with a resolving power of R = 48,000 by the use of a two-beam, two-slice image slicer. A first concept o...
متن کاملNavy Prototype Optical Interferometer observations of geosynchronous satellites.
Using a 15.9 m baseline at the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer (NPOI), we have successfully detected interferometric fringes in observations of the geosynchronous satellite (geosat) DirecTV-9S while it glinted on two nights in March 2009. The fringe visibilities can be fitted by a model consisting of two components, one resolved (≳3.7 m) and one unresolved (∼1.1 m). Both the length of ...
متن کاملDemonstration of a refractometric sensor based on an optical micro-fiber three-beam interferometer
With diameter close to the wavelength of the guided light and high index contrast between the fiber and the surrounding, an optical micro-fiber shows a variety of interesting waveguiding properties, including widely tailorable optical confinement, strong evanescent fields and waveguide dispersion. Among various micro-fiber applications, optical sensing has been attracting increasing research in...
