GRAVITY is the second-generation VLTI instrument for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric imaging. It will bring the most advanced vision to the VLT: with its fiber-fed integrated optics, wavefront sensors, fringe tracker, beam stabilization, and a novel metrology concept, GRAVITY will push the sensitivity and accuracy far beyond what is offered today.
In this project the electronics group is responsible for the control system of the beam positioning as well as the temperature stabilization, the reading electronics for cameras and detectors, the electrical supply and communication between devices and processors.
