First light for GRAVITY: Phase referencing optical interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer

Roberto Abuter, +138 more
TL;DR: GRAVITY as discussed by the authors is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m diameter angular resolution and a collecting area of 200 m2.

On-sky Testing of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator

TL;DR: In this paper, the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) is used to correct for atmospheric turbulence over a field of view which is much larger than the one typically covered by the existing adaptive optics systems installed on 8m class telescopes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

MAD on sky results in star-oriented mode

TL;DR: The Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) as mentioned in this paper is a test bench for proving the feasibility of Multi Conjugate (MCAO) and Ground Layer Adaptative Optics (GLAO) techniques both in the laboratory and on the sky.
