2017年3月9日 · The telescopes can work together, to form a giant ‘interferometer’, the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer, allowing astronomers to pick up much finer details of the cosmos than would be possible with the ATs or the UTs alone.

4 天之前 · The Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) consists in the coherent combination of the four VLT Unit Telescopes or the four moveable 1.8m Auxiliary Telescopes. The VLTI provides milli-arcsec angular resolution at low and intermediate (R=5000) spectral resolution at near and mid-infrared wavelengths.

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is an astronomical facility operated since 1998 by the European Southern Observatory, located on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.It consists of four individual telescopes, each equipped with a primary mirror that measures 8.2 meters in diameter. These optical telescopes, named Antu, Kueyen, Melipal, and Yepun (all words for astronomical ...

甚大望远镜（Very Large Telescope，缩写为VLT）是欧洲南方天文台建造的位于智利帕瑞纳天文台的大型光学望远镜，由4台相同的口径为8.2米的望远镜组成。 VLT的4台望远镜既可以单独使用，也可以组成光学干涉仪进行高分辨率观测。

ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) uses interferometry to combine the light collected by the four VLT 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes (UT) or the four movable 1.8-metre Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs). This creates a larger “virtual” telescope with a diameter equivalent to the distance between the individual telescopes (called ...

The interferometric mode of the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) permits coherent combination of stellar light beams collected by four Unit Telescopes (UTs) with 8m diameter and by several Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) of the 2m class.

2024年9月3日 · These telescopes can either operate individually or combine to create what astronomers call an optical interferometer, which has a drastically larger light grasp than the individual telescopes...

The ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) offers access to the four 8 m Unit Telescopes (UT) and the four 1.8 m Auxiliary Telescopes (AT) of the Paranal Observatory located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.

2024年12月19日 · These telescopes can operate individually or together as an interferometer that functions like a telescope with a mirror 200 metres (600 feet) in diameter. The large telescopes are named Antu, Kueyen, Melipal, and Yepun, which are the names for the Sun, the Moon, the Southern Cross, and Venus in the language of the Mapuche people. Construction ...

2007年1月1日 · The new generation of optical interferometers, exemplified by the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) and the Keck Interferometer (KI), are characterized by large individual telescopes (8–10 m class) separated by few-100 m baselines and equipped with sensitive near-to-mid infrared beam combiners.
