Vlt: Auxiliary Instrumentation

Scientific paper

The near-infrared/red focal instrument of the VLTI, called AMBER, will operate between 1 and 2.5 μm in a first phase (2001 - 2003) with two UTs. This instrument has been designed for three beams to be able to perform images through phase closure techniques. The wavelength coverage will be extended in a second phase down to 0.6 μm at the time the ATs become operational. The magnitude limit of AMBER is expected to reach K = 20 when a bright reference star is available and K = 14 otherwise. The main scientific objectives are the investigation at very high angular resolution of disks and jets around young stellar objects and AGN dust tori with a spectral resolution up to 10,000.
