Abstract

We report the first phased images using adaptive optics correction from the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer. LBTI achieved first fringes in late 2010, with seeing-limited operation. Initial tests verified the feasibility of the setup and allowed us tócharacterize the phase variations from both the atmosphere and mechanical vibrations. Integration of the secondary-base AO systems was carried out in spring 2011 and spring 2012 for the right and left side respectively. Single aperture, diffraction-limited, operation has been commissioned and is used as a productive mode of the LBTI with the LMIRCam subsystem. We describe the initial observation for dual aperture observations and coherent imaging results.
