After decades of fast-paced technical advances, optical/infrared (O/IR) interferometry has
seen a revolution in recent years:▪ The GRAVITY instrument at the Very Large Telescope …

A complete accounting of nearby objects—from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors
down to low-mass brown dwarfs—is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of …

Optical interferometry provides us with a unique opportunity to improve our understanding of
stellar structure and evolution. Through direct observation of rotationally distorted …

Abstract The ASTRI (Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana) Project led by
the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) is develo** and will deploy at the …

Context. Interpretation of interferometric observations of rapidly rotating stars requires a
good model of their surface effective temperature. Until now, laws of the form have been …

Based on CHARA Array measurements, we present the angular diameters of 23 nearby,
main-sequence stars, ranging from spectral types A7 to K0, 5 of which are exoplanet host …

Context. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems owing to the
dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known …

Aims. This work aims at presenting the first two-dimensional models of an isolated rapidly
rotating star that include the derivation of the differential rotation and meridional circulation …

In recent years, a new generation of optical intensity interferometers has emerged,
leveraging the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes …

Optical and infrared interferometers definitively established that the photometric standard
Vega (= α Lyrae) is a rapidly rotating star viewed nearly pole-on. Recent independent …
