Abstract:MATISSE, the VLTI 2 nd generation spectro-interferometric L, M and N bands imager, has been commissioned from March 2018 to March 2020. It is open to the General User since April 2019. A complete analysis of its performances is given in this paper for MATISSE standalone (with UTs and ATs) and for the GRAVITY for MATISSE (GRA4MAT) mode (with ATs) where the GRAVITY fringe tracker is used to stabilize the fringes in MATISSE and hence improve its sensitivity and spectral coverage at high spectral resolution.

“…This was particularly important as the analysis of NGC 1068 data started early during the commissioning of MATISSE. Our specific tests on that target were eventually confirmed and strengthened by the global commissioning of MATISSE 38 .…”
