The Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks
To understand how planetary systems form in the dusty disks around premain-sequence stars, a detailed knowledge of the structure and evolution of these disks is required. Although this is reasonably…
Imaging the Surface of Altair
TLDR
Using optical long-baseline interferometry, a near-infrared image of the rapidly rotating hot star Altair is constructed with a resolution of <1 milliarcsecond that clearly reveals the strong effect of gravity darkening on the highly distorted stellar photosphere.
On the interferometric sizes of young stellar objects
Long-baseline optical interferometers can now detect and resolve hot dust emission thought to arise at the inner edge of circumstellar disks around young stellar objects (YSOs). We argue that the…
High-resolution imaging of dust shells by using Keck aperture masking and the IOTA interferometer
We present first results of an experiment to combine data from Keck aperture masking and the Infrared-Optical Telescope Array to image the circumstellar environments of evolved stars with ~20 mas…
COLDER AND HOTTER: INTERFEROMETRIC IMAGING OF β CASSIOPEIAE AND α LEONIS
Near-infrared interferometers have recently imaged a number of rapidly rotating A-type stars, finding levels of gravity darkening inconsistent with theoretical expectations. Here, we present new…
The Near-Infrared Size-Luminosity Relations for Herbig Ae/Be Disks
We report the results of a sensitive K-band survey of Herbig Ae/Be disk sizes using the 85 m baseline Keck Interferometer. Targets were chosen to span the maximum range of stellar properties to probe…
Optical interferometry in astronomy
Here I review the current state of the field of optical stellar interferometry, concentrating on ground-based work although a brief report of space interferometry missions is included. We pause both…
The last gasps of VY Canis Majoris: Aperture synthesis and adaptive optics imagery
We present new observations of the red supergiant VY CMa at 1.25, 1.65, 2.26, 3.08, and 4.8 km. Two complementary observational techniques were utilized: nonredundant aperture masking on the 10 m…
Mid-infrared size survey of young stellar objects : description of keck segment-tilting experiment and basic results
The mid-infrared properties of pre-planetary disks are sensitive to the temperature and flaring profiles of disks for the regions where planet formation is expected to occur. In order to constrain…
Keck Interferometer Observations of Classical and Weak-line T Tauri Stars
We present observations of the T Tauri stars BP Tau, DG Tau, DI Tau, GM Aur, LkCa 15, RW Aur, and V830 Tau, using long baseline infrared interferometry at K band (2.2 μm) from the Keck…
