Abstract:

High angular resolution observations using adaptive optics (AO) are nowadays possible on almost all 8-10m class telescopes. A new generation of AO-supported instruments is currently being built and will be ready in the coming years. In this talk I will present the AO part of some of these instruments, like the Exo-planet imager SPHERE, the interferometric astrometry instrument GRAVITY, or the ground-layer AO facility ARGOS with multiple laser guide stars.
