AMBER, the Astronomical Multi-Beam Recombiner, is a Very Large Telescope (VLT) instrument combining the light of the three Unit Telescope in the near-infrared of the VLT-Interferometer (VLTI). It is at the source of a considerable number of publications〔() 〕 in the field of optical long-baseline interferometry. It is combining three out of the four telescopes of the VLTI, through a spectrograph, making it a unique instrument, combining spectroscopy and interferometry. These properties, and the fact that AMBER is an open-community instrument, made it a successful instrument. It can be compared to its fellow in the mid-infrared, the MIDI instrument in terms of the number of publications. Among highlights from the AMBER instrument, one can cite the first detection of a Keplerian-rotating disk around a Be star, the discovery of disks around evolved stars, the characterization of the disks of young stars, the observations of novae, the sharpest images of evolved stars and the characterization of the central dusty torus of active galactic nuclei == See also == * Astronomical interferometer * CHARA array * GRAVITY – Very Large Telescope#Instruments * Infrared Spatial Interferometer * MATISSE – Multi Aperture Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Experiment * NPOI – Navy Precision Optical Interferometer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amber (Very Large Telescope)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
