A Long-Baseline Imaging Interferometer for the Mid-Infrared

摘要 9500525 Danchi，William Townes，Charles 170万美元用于扩建加州大学伯克利分校的成像干涉仪。 这一开创性的仪器正在将空间干涉测量技术扩展到10微米的大气窗口。 改进后的仪器将用于研究星周尘埃壳和原行星盘。 它还将进一步加深我们对这些波长的外差探测和地球大气层湍流结构的理解。

ABSTRACT 9500525 Danchi, William Townes, Charles $1.7M is being provided to expand the University of California, Berkeley imaging interferometer. This pioneering instrument is expanding the technique of spatial interferometry into the 10 micron atmospheric window. The improved instrument will be used in the study of circumstellar dust shells and protoplanetary disks. It will also further our understanding of heterodyne detection at these wavelengths and of the structure of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere.
