Abstract
Following Labeyrie’s successful demonstration of stellar interferometry with independent apertures [121], founding the era of modern interferometry, there were several projects in the 1980s and 1990s, at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in France (Grand Interféromètre à 2 Télescopes, GI2T) [124, 164], in the US, Mark I - III [214, 215, 213] at Mt. Wilson, California, the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) [38] at Palomar, California, and the Infrared-Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) at Mt. Hopkins [238], Arizona that, in the meantime, have all been taken out of operation.
