SPICA: a new visible combiner for CHARA Signed by many colleagues!

Summary of the previous seasons 2012: VEGA limitations (intensified CCD+multispeckle) + Prospect on CHARA/AO + Progresses on EMCCD  propositions P. Bério (FRIEND) 2013-2015: FRIEND development and tests 2015: first discussion at Atlanta 2016: Visible meeting after the CHARA Meeting 2016-2017: Definition of the SPICA proposal, funding request (5-year grant unsuccessful but local funding ok to start), project organization.

Conclusions of Visible day (Nice, 2016)

Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array if we don’t know the star, we don’t know the planets Exo earth Characterization Direct imaging From planets to planetary systems Planet and environment Multiscale approach Diversity Formation & evolution Stars as Sun Star/planet Asteroseismology Surface imaging Improved modeling Habitability Diversity High angular resolution

SPICA science case Surface-brightness-color relations Masses Fundamental parameters as a function of SpTy Radius Effective Temperature Limb darkening FROM EMPIRICAL MODELS TO MEASURES Exoplanets host stars Asteroseismic targets Original and unique support to a large panel of space missions (Gaia, TESS, CHEOPS, PLATO) and unique support for stellar masses and stellar evolutionary constraints

3 years * 70 nights = 1000 stars 1000 stars: 100* for spectral imaging, 200* binaries or multiple, 700* for FP 5*100+10*200+2*700=3900 observations + calibrators  8000 data points 40 objects per night 2015: 187n, 4699obj 16obj/n. Factor 2.5 missing But AO 75% of ‘good seeing’ conditions 6T means 15V² Low spectral resolution, improved number of channels, l-coverage Probably feasible: PAVO/FLUOR experience of fast shift Queue scheduling and optimization

SPICA: a first synthesis High-efficient q/FP machine Sensitivity (detector, AO, FT), Efficiency (6T) Simple instrument with integrated pipeline R=100, 600-900nm Imaging/spectral-imaging R=3000 to preserve a good sensitivity 6T R>30000 option for specific studies A: a classical dispersed fringes (VEGA/MIRC/VISION) 6T B: a more prospective HR, wide band design with Echelle Spectrograph 3-6T C: a powerful Phase Tracker

Main points of attention Sensitivity AO-Fiber coupling and V² optimization Alignment control (pupil and image) Simple design; choice of components, lab implementation Bulk/IO choice Exposure time: Group Delay – Phase tracking Efficiency Fight against downtime and overheads Instrument-Array interface optimization Automatic execution of OB + optimized night scheduling  f(a,d) ‘integrated’ pipeline

Two main drivers for performance Detector Nüvü512 ok for Mode A, 6T, low noise, fast readout Nüvü1024 ok for Mode B, 3T, ~20 orders, R=30000 & Dl=200nm + Phase Tracker #1 IR detector for Phase Tracker (Selex?) Phase Tracker Group Delay is mandatory Phase Tracker #1: DIT=200ms, l/10 (60nm) Phase Tracker #2: DIT=30s, l/4 (150nm) Gravity like FT  IR versus Visible K=7, 100nm Gravity A: LR/MR with Group Delay B: HR C: Phase Tracker

Expected performance (1) Based on VEGA/CHARA + FRIEND experience S/N (V²) equation comes from Gordon&Busher 2012 (eq.28) Numerical hypothesis Tinst=0.01; T-AO=0.8; SR=0.25; Coupling=0.2 ; Vinst=0.9 QE=0.9, RON=0.1, Ndark=0.0002 (NUVU)

Expected performance (2) Limiting magnitude defined as S/N=10 per spectral channel in 10mn of integration   R=100 R=3000 V²=0.25 8.7 5.0 V²=0.01 5.6 1.9 Table 1: Limiting magnitude with a group delay tracker only   R=100 R=3000 V²=0.25, DIT=0.2s 10.1 6.4 V²=0.25, DIT=30s 11.4 7.7 V²=0.01, DIT=0.2s 6.7 3.0 V²=0.01, DIT=30s 8.0 4.3 In large band R=10 means lc=6µm which mean Group Delay with typically lc/20=lambda/2…. Hard! Table 2: Limiting magnitude with a phase tracker These estimations use the same S/N calculator of FRIEND, validated on-sky

Estimation of performance for a H-band CHARA FT H band FT, 5 SpCh, 6T multiaxial, Selex detector. T0=10ms , Texp=5/10ms The differences are: H band versus K band, the CHARA Array Transmission in H = 10% versus VLTI_AT transmission in K = 29%, coupling efficiency of 65% instead of 10% at the present time on the VLTI/AT (NAOMI AO systems not yet in operation), Exposure time of 5ms below H=6 instead of 0.85ms below K=6 and 10ms above H=6 versus 3ms between K=6-8 and 10ms above K=8. The difference in exposure time is reasonable thanks to the difference of coherence time between Mount Wilson (10ms) and Paranal (3.3ms). We use a reduced Fringe Tracking transmission from 20% to 12% to account for the 4T to 6T evolution. VLTI-GRAVITY FT performance Adaptation of MIRC? New system? TBD…
