AN INTRODUCTION TO OPTICAL STELLAR INTERFEROMETRY-LABEYRIE-Cambridge University Press
During the last two decades, optical stellar interferometry has become
an important tool in astronomical investigations requiring spatial
resolution well beyond that of traditional telescopes. This book, first
published in 2006, was the first to be written on the subject. The
authors provide an extended introduction discussing basic physical and
atmospheric optics, which establishes the framework necessary to present
the ideas and practice of interferometry as applied to the astronomical
scene. They follow with an overview of historical, operational and
planned interferometric observatories, and a selection of important
astrophysical discoveries made with them. Finally, they present some
as-yet untested ideas for instruments both on the ground and in space
which may allow us to image details of planetary systems beyond our own.
