Description
A new near-infrared camera, SHARP (System for High Angular Resolution Pictures), has been used at the 3.5m ESO NTI' to produce near-diffraction-limited K-band images of the galactic centre region. The new images show a substantial improvement in resolution and sensitivity over previous K-band images. IRS 16 splits into about 20 compact sources, the extended ridge in IRS 16W- E is resolved into at least 5 stellar components, and a faint source (K = 13.7 ± 0.6) is detected at the position of SgrA. Measurement of proper motions of the stellar sources within a few arcseconds of this source will allow us to determine the central mass within the next few years

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): a space mission for mid-infrared nulling interferometry
    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
