摘要:

第二代仪器的VLTI基础设施的升级现已完成,实验室的改造,以及在1.8米辅助望远镜(AT)和8米单位望远镜(UT)上安装恒星分离器。重力条纹跟踪器已经在AT上调试了整整一个学期,并首次看到了UT。CIAO红外波前传感器即将展示其相对于可见波前传感器MACAO的性能。正在对AT进行首次天体测量,并对UT进行天体测量鉴定。现在是重新审视2014年启动的VLTI性能路线图的好时机,该路线图旨在协调一致地推动干涉仪的发展,特别是其性能,以支持新一代仪器:重力和MATISSE。

英文摘要:

The upgrade of the VLTI infrastructure for the 2nd generation instruments is now complete with the transformation of the laboratory, and installation of star separators on both the 1.8-m Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) and the 8-m Unit Telescopes (UTs). The Gravity fringe tracker has had a full semester of commissioning on the ATs, and a first look at the UTs. The CIAO infrared wavefront sensor is about to demonstrate its performance relative to the visible wavefront sensor MACAO. First astrometric measurements on the ATs and astrometric qualification of the UTs are on-going. Now is a good time to revisit the performance roadmap for VLTI that was initiated in 2014, which aimed at coherently driving the developments of the interferometer, and especially its performance, in support to the new generation of instruments: Gravity and MATISSE.
