Abstract
NAOMI was developed by a consortium
composed of IPAG and ESO. Its Provisional
Acceptance Chile review was
held in April 2019. The NAOMI systems
that have been installed on the Auxiliary
Telescopes make the Very Large Telescope
Interferometer (VLTI) and its
instruments much less dependent on
the atmospheric and dome seeing
conditions.
NAOMI increases the interferometer’s
operability and improves the
performance of its instruments and,
very early on, was identified as being
critical to the VLTI. In this article,
we
review the project, describe its principles
and architecture, and offer a preview
of the improvements it brings to
VLTI instruments.
