Funded Activity Summary

Multiplicity in Star and Planet Formation with the PAVO instrument. The Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) instrument will pursue some of the most active and inspirational topics in contemporary astrophysics: tracing the formation of stars and solar systems. PAVO will focus on binary and multiple stars, directly detecting many new stellar companions, finding planets through the side-to-side wobble induced on their parent stars and imaging the complex process of stellar and planetary birth. The path to these goals lies through advances in the manipulation of light embodied by the PAVO instrument which will allow it to obtain higher spatial resolution on fainter objects than any competing approach.
