位于智利北部塞罗帕拉纳尔(2635米)的甚大望远镜(VLT)天文台将于今年完工，届时8米单位望远镜中的第四台将第一次看到曙光。与此同时，VLT干涉仪(VLTI)的第一条条纹的准备工作正在迅速推进，目标是在今年内拥有两个铁含量测定仪的第一条条纹。本文描述了VLTI及其子系统的现状，讨论了利用不同的望远镜和仪器进行第一条纹的规划。最后，我们展望了超大型望远镜干涉测量的未来。
The Very Large Telescope (VLT) Observatory on Cerro Paranal (2635 m) in Northern Chile is approaching completion in this year when the fourth of the 8-m Unit Telescopes will see first light. At the same time, the preparation for first fringes of the VLT Interferometer (VLTI) is advancing rapidly with the goal of having the first fringes with two siderostats within this year. In this article we describe the status of the VLTI and its subsystems, we discuss the planning for first fringes with the different telescopes and instruments. Eventually, we present an outlook for the future of interferometry with Very Large Telescopes.
