Giant step towards a practical small sat interferometer!

[Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News @olbin]

Observing fringes across the optical and near-infrared simultaneously vastly improves interpretation of science observations (as well as uv coverage) allowing more reliable results with less observing time.

[Narsireddy Anugu @NarsiAnugu]

🌟 Incredible milestone at @CHARAArray tonight! 👏 Witnessed 45 fringes simultaneously, spanning visible (R-band) and near-infrared (H and K-bands) wavelengths. Each instrument (#SPICA, #MIRCX, #MYSTIC) captured 15 fringes/baseline data.

Researchers from @ObsCoteAzur announced first 6-telescope visible light fringes at @chara on 2023Jun17. The SPICA instrument will make images of stellar surfaces with 0.2 milliarcsecond resolution. Congratulations to the team! #olbin #chara #erc #spica

Amazing new images of the inner au of one of the closest Herbig Be stars showing a glowing inner cavity surrounded by a hot dust ring. #chara #mircx #olbin @michiganastro Q&A with lead author Noura Ibrahim (U. Michigan) here: https://t.co/jFwtMe4LpZ

Interesting developments in space interferometry from China. #olbin @LIFE_Telescope

[Andrew Jones @AJ_FI]

At last. A good insight into China's Miyin exoplanet project. Miyin aims to detect habitable planets around nearby stars using interferometry, using 4 telescopes & a beam combiner at Sun-Earth L2. On-orbit tests in 2024, launch an experimental sat in 2027 year, active ~2030.

There will be a workshop May 22-24 at Ohio State (Columbus, OH) focusing on Stellar Intensity Interferometry, a technique enjoying a resurgence based on new telescope arrays and advances in detection methods. Learn more at https://t.co/VzT2EvV2GV #olbin #quantum

A long-awaited updated review in ARAA on "Advances in Optical/Infrared Interferometry" (by Eisenhauer, Monnier, and Pfuhl) is available now on astro-ph: https://t.co/tUaYMbdcg5

[Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News @olbin]

Here is an exciting opportunity to help add a long-missing capability to the VLTI!
OLBIN is happy to advertise jobs related to optical interferometry, so please include us @olbin in your postings.

[Stefan Kraus @astrokraus]

Join us as POSTDOC / OPTICAL ENGINEER in the brand new Exeter Exoplanet Lab. We are building the BIFROST instrument aimed for the VLT Interferometer. Applications open until March 28th (https://t.co/4aGbX6lnc4; P87138) @UoE_Astro @UoE_Physics @ERC_Research

"The probability of finding [a K=13mag] fringe-tracking star within 30" is almost 100% in the Galactic plane and
remains above 25% for Galactic latitudes of 40°." A summary of the GRAVITY+ Project was published in https://t.co/ZIGMyLIIfC this week. @GravityPlus_VLT

Congratulations to @PierreKervella and colleague Grzegorz Pietrzyński for receiving the Polish-French Science Award! Stellar interferometry helping to build a robust cosmic distance ladder. https://t.co/qTFKprR3Ci

[Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News @olbin]

This VLTI-GRAVITY result measuring the spatial distribution of Br-gamma line emission in T Tauri stars really stood out this month. This fundamentally new view of the star-disk connection for young stars will be of wide interest. https://t.co/9muTp1h7Ki

[Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News @olbin]

I hear there is a new postdoc position opening in asteroseismology and interferometry, connected to the exciting new SPICA 6-telelescope visible imaging combiner at CHARA. Posting here: https://t.co/57gCPM2tDi

[Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News @olbin]

I believe this marks the first extragalactic results for the @CHARAArray . Congratulations and we hope for many more AGN fringes in the future!
