An 11.6 Micron Keck Search for Exo-Zodiacal Dust
We have begun an observational program to search nearby stars for dust disks that are analogous to the disk of zodiacal dust that fills the interior of our solar system. We imaged six nearby main-sequence stars with the Keck telescope at 11.6 mm, correcting for atmosphere-induced wavefront aberrations and deconvolving the point spread function via classical speckle analysis. We compare our data...
متن کاملImaging and Nulling with the Space Interferometer Mission
We present numerical simulations for a possible synthesis imaging mode of the Space Interferometer Mission (SIM). We summarize the general techniques that SIM offers to perform imaging of high surface brightness sources, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. We describe an interactive software package that is used to provide realistic, photometrically correct estimates of SIM performance ...

ESA has identified interferometry as one of the major goals of the Horizon 2000+ programme. Infrared interferometers are a highly sensitive astronomical instruments that enable us to observe terrestrial planets around nearby stars. In this context the Infrared Space Interferometry Mission (IRSI)/ DARWIN is studied. The current design calls for a constellation of 6 free flying telescopes using 1...
متن کاملProspects for the Study of Dust Making Wolf-rayet Binaries with the Vlti-spectro-imager (vsi)
The VLTI-Spectro-Imager (VSI) is a 2nd generation VLTI instrument under development (Malbet et al. 2008). The main improvement of VSI with respect to previous interferometric instruments (e.g. AMBER) is a significant enhancement of the imaging capability, thanks to the combination of 6 beams resulting in a significant spatial frequency gain. The science input will be further improved using the ...
متن کاملDynamical Zodiacal Cloud Models Constrained by High Resolution Spectroscopy of the Zodiacal Light
The simulated Doppler shifts of the solar Mg I Fraunhofer line produced by scattering on the solar light by asteroidal, cometary, and trans-Neptunian dust particles are compared with the shifts obtained by Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) spectrometer. The simulated spectra are based on the results of integrations of the orbital evolution of particles under the gravitational influence of planets...
