Scientific objectives

Stars and phenomena within reach of the hypertelescope Like traditional telescopes, the hypertelescopes must provide direct images of astrophysical objects very various. But, while the resolution of the 2.4 m Hubble space telescope mirror is 40 milliseconds,...

Targets 2014

Objectives been 2014 Get the first fringes on Vega with two small mirrors (without adaptive optics to start). Gradually increase the number of mirrors. Test the new gondola. Perspectives The team met and coordinated by Antoine Labeyrie...

Goals 2015

Objective for the 2015 season Given the minimum funding this year, the provisional programme of the 2015 to the Moutiere campaign consists of three months of presence on the site to achieve the following objectives with a virtually unchanged material...
