#Dusty surprise around giant black holeeso's Very Large Telescope Interferometer has gathered the most detailed observations ever of the dust around the huge black hole at the centre of an active galaxy.

But new observations of a nearby active galaxy called NGC 3783 harnessing the power of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile 2 have given a team of astronomers a surprise.

In order to investigate the central regions of NGC 3783 the astronomers needed to use the combined power of the Unit Telescopes of ESO's Very Large Telescope.

Using these units together forms an interferometer that can obtain a resolution equivalent to that of a 130-metre telescope.

Another team member Gerd Weigelt (Max-Planck-Institut fã r Radioastronomie Bonn Germany) explains By combining the world-class sensitivity of the large mirrors of the VLT with interferometry we are able

which will allow us to combine all four VLT Unit Telescopes at once and observe simultaneously in the near-and mid-infrared--giving us much more detailed data.

or more times bigger than typical grain sizes of cosmic graphite grains. 2 The VLTI is formed from a combination of the four 8. 2-metre VLT Unit Telescopes or the four moveable

1. 8-metre VLT Auxiliary Telescopes. It makes use of a technique known as interferometry in

which sophisticated instrumentation combines the light from several telescopes into one observation. Although it usually does not produce actual images this technique dramatically increases the level of detail that can be measured in the resulting observations comparable to

Bean has received a 60-orbit allocation on the Hubble Space Telescope to continue his observations on GJ 1214b a sign of the work s importance.

Bean and his colleagues have made the best observations of planetary atmospheres so far using the Hubble Telescope the Spitzer Space Telescope and in Chile the Very Large Telescope array and the twin Magellan Telescopes.

But the planned Giant Magellan Telescope of which UCHICAGO is a founding partner and the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope should eclipse the capabilities of today s observatories
