The ESPRI project: narrow-angle astrometry with VLTI-PRIMA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2007
Abstract
We describe the ongoing hardware and software developments that shall enable the ESO VLTI to perform narrow-angle differential delay astrometry in K-band with an accuracy of up to 10 μarcsec. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to perform an astrometric search for extrasolar planets around nearby stars.
