Advances in Science with Stellar Interferometers 2004-2006

摘要

This paper presents an overview of contributions in astrophysics made since 2004 through the use of long-baseline optical/infrared interferometers. Emphasis is placed on new results at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. These results include new insights into our understanding of Cepheid and Mira variables, Young Stellar Objects, dust shells, spectroscopic binaries, and the limb-darkening of rapidly rotating stars. Plans for future work are also described.
