 Naos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Below Sirius, in the great craft of the Argonauts, Argo, lies Naos, the Greek name meaning "the ship." Argo is so large that in the nineteenth century, astronomers took to breaking it into parts, Carina, the Keel (which contains Canopus), Vela, the Sails, and Puppis, the Stern.
Naos, the Zeta star of Argo, fell into Puppis, and is now known also as Zeta Puppis.
Naos is a fine example of a class O "runaway" star, one that has been ejected at high speed (nearly 100 km/s) from its place of origin, Naos's in the neighboring constellation Vela.

 NAOS First Light
NAOS was conceived, built and characterized by a consortium including ONERA (in charge of the project), l'Observatoire de Paris (DESPA and DASGAL), the LAOG of Grenoble and with the participation of the technical division of INSU-CNRS.
NAOS allows to sharpen the view of one of the four giant telescopes by giving it back the capacity - predicted by theoretical wave optics- to distinguish angular details of size inversely proportional to the mirror size, capacity lost due to the atmosphere.
The NAOS image will allow to study the very important matter ejections which characterize the proto-stellar phase, as well as the formation of the very small mass stars which appear as weak sources on this image.

NAOS was compensating atmospheric disturbances by analyzing light from the central star with its visual wavefront sensor, while CONICA was observing in the K-band.
NAOS is equipped with two wavefront sensors, one in the visible part of the spectrum (0.45 - 0.95 µm) and one in the infrared part (1 - 2.5 µm); both are based on the Shack-Hartmann principle.
