Magdalena Ridge天文台干涉仪将是第一个设施级光学干涉仪，严格为成像科学使命优化。该阵列的最后形式设想包括10个1.4米孔径的可移动望远镜，呈Y形配置，基线从8米延伸到400米，延迟线能够连续6小时跟踪放置良好的光源，近红外线条纹跟踪，并在近红外和光学波长进行科学观测。科学参考使命任务包括研究年轻的恒星天体、全方位的恒星天体物理学，以及对最近和最亮的100个活动星系核进行成像研究。明年我们将在新墨西哥州配备全部人员。我们的目标是2007年在第一条基线上获得第一个边缘。
The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer will be the first facility-class optical interferometer optimized strictly for an imaging science mission. The array in its final form is envisaged to comprise ten 1.4 m aperture movable telescopes in a Y configuration, baselines extending from 8 to 400 meters, delay lines capable of tracking well-placed sources for 6 continuous hours, fringe-tracking in the near-infrared , and undertake science observations at both near-infrared and optical wavelengths. The science reference mission includes studies of young stellar objects, a full range of stellar astrophysics, and imaging studies of the nearest and brightest 100 active galactic nuclei. We will be staffing up to our full complement of personnel in New Mexico over the next year. Our goal for first fringes on the first baseline is 2007.
