After the final design reviews of the optics (2021) and the entire system (2022), most hardware procurements have started. In this paper we present an overview of the status of the various ongoing activities. Many hardware components are already in hand, and the manufacturing is in full swing in order to start the assembly and testing of the subsystems in 2024 toward first light at the telescope in 2028/29. This rather brief paper only provides an overview of the project status. For more information, we refer to the detailed instrument paper which will be published soon.
Asgard/NOTT: L-band nulling interferometry at the VLTI. II. Warm optical design and injection system
In this paper, we analyse the potential of non-redundant aperture masking for spectral measurements, highlighting its capabilities both as a tool for precise single-wavelength metrology, and as alternative to low resolution spectrographs.
Although here presented as a general introduction, this technique is suitable for a large number of potential applications, ranging from compact cube-sat missions for the analysis of bright sources, to large-dish space telescopes where the increased sensitivity allows one to study fainter targets.
