During the last few years, two new instruments using long baseline interferometry have been constructed for high angular resolution astronomy in the mid-infrared spectral region (8-12 μxm). One called SOIRDETE-Synthese d’Overture en InfraRouge a DEux TElescopes-was built by J. Gay and his collaborators at CERGA. SOIRDETE has a fixed E-W 15 m baseline and two 1 m diameter telescopes of conventional design. This instrument obtains interference fringes by adjusting an optical-precision delay line in discrete steps to compensate for the geometrical delay of the projected baseline. The interference fringe from the source is detected using HgCdTe photodiodes. Because the instrumental delay has discrete steps a time-domain interferogram is created. This interferogram, upon Fourier transformation to the frequency domain, yields information about the spectral characteristics of the source. First fringes have recently been obtained with this instrument (Gay, 1988).

AbstractWe present the largest mid-infrared (MIR) atlas of active galactic nuclei at sub-arcsec spatial scales containing 253 objects with a median redshift of 0.016. It comprises all available ground-based high-angular resolution MIR observations performed to date with 8-meter class telescopes and includes 895 photometric measurements. All types of AGN are present in the atlas, which also includes 80 per cent of the 9-month BAT AGN sample. Therefore, this atlas and its subsamples are very well-suited for AGN unification studies. A first application of the atlas is the extension of the MIR–X-ray luminosity correlation for AGN.

ABSTRACT In the framework of the Astronomical Light Optical Hybrid Analysis (ALOHA) laboratory mid-infrared (MIR) up-conversion fibred interferometer in the L band, we report on the influence of the input-stage architecture. Using an amplitude division set-up in the visible or near-infrared is a straightforward choice in most cases. In the MIR context, the results are slightly different and we show that a wavefront division set-up is needed. These in-laboratory principle experiments allow us to measure a reliable 88 per cent instrumental contrast with high flux and to obtain fringes from faint sources at 3.5 μm with a spectral bandwith of 37 nm converted to 817 nm. An equivalent limiting L-band magnitude around 3.9, equivalent to 3.0 fW nm−1, could be demonstrated on 1 m class telescopes. This opens the possibility of planning future on-sky tests at the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) array and of predicting the performance attained.
