AST-0138303Schloerb, F. PeterThe sensitivity of the three-telescope IOTA, a Michelson Stellar Interferometer will be improved through the addition of a new high speed visible light tip/tilt tracker, single-mode IR fiber optics, and an improved IR tip/tilt tracker, which will be used to observe highly reddened objects that are untrackable with the visible sensor. These improvements will extend the limiting astronomical magnitude for science measurements from the current 7.5 magnitude limit (R-band) to a 9.0 magnitude limit (R-band). This new system will enable studies of surface features and mass exchange interactions across the surface of the photospheres of Herbig Ae/Be stars and T Tauri stars. . ***

AST-0138303Schloerb，F. Peter三望远镜IOTA（迈克尔逊恒星干涉仪）的灵敏度将通过添加新的高速可见光尖端/倾斜跟踪器、单模红外光纤和改进的红外尖端/倾斜跟踪器来提高，该跟踪器将用于观察可见光传感器无法跟踪的高度红色物体。这些改进将把科学测量的天文星等限制从当前的 7.5 星等限制（R 波段）扩展到 9.0 星等限制（R 波段）。这个新系统将能够研究 Herbig Ae/Be 星和 T Tauri 星光球表面的表面特征和质量交换相互作用。 。 ***
