摘要:

传统上,光学和近红外干涉测量依赖于闭合相位技术来产生图像。这些技术使我们能够实现适度的动态范围。为了测试下一代光学干涉仪的VLTI光谱成像仪(VSI)的背景下的可行性,我们已经开始了图像重建和分析的研究。我们的主要目的是测试望远镜的数量,观测夜晚和可见点的分布对重建图像质量的影响。我们的研究结果表明,在一个完整的夜晚使用六个辅助望远镜(AT)进行观测通常会产生最好的结果,并且在大多数科学案例中至关重要;望远镜的数量是图像重建结果的决定因素。在成像能力方面,一个光学,六望远镜VLTI型配置和~200米基线将实现4 mas的空间分辨率,这是与ALMA相当,几乎50倍于JWST将实现2.2微米。我们的研究结果表明,这样的仪器将能够成像,前所未有的细节,过多的来源,从复杂的恒星表面微透镜事件。

英文摘要:

Classically, optical and near-infrared interferometry have relied on closure phase techniques to produce images. Such techniques allow us to achieve modest dynamic ranges. In order to test the feasibility of next generation optical interferometers in the context of the VLTI-spectro-imager (VSI), we have embarked on a study of image reconstruction and analysis. Our main aim was to test the influence of the number of telescopes, observing nights and distribution of the visibility points on the quality of the reconstructed images. Our results show that observations using six Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) during one complete night yield the best results in general and is critical in most science cases; the number of telescopes is the determining factor in the image reconstruction outcome. In terms of imaging capabilities, an optical, six telescope VLTI-type configuration and ~200 meter baseline will achieve 4 mas spatial resolution, which is comparable to ALMA and almost 50 times better than JWST will achieve at 2.2 microns. Our results show that such an instrument will be capable of imaging, with unprecedented detail, a plethora of sources, ranging from complex stellar surfaces to microlensing events.
