Descripción
Nowadays, compact sources relatively warm like surfaces of nearby stars,
circumstellar environments of stars from early stages to the most
evolved ones and surroundings of active galactic nuclei can be
investigated at milli-arcsecond scales only with the VLT in its
interferometric mode. We propose a spectro-imager, named VSI (VLTI
spectro-imager), which is capable to probe these sources both over
spatial and spectral scales in the near-infrared domain. This instrument
will provide information complementary to what is obtained at the same
time with ALMA at different wavelengths and the extreme large
telescopes.
