Exozodiacal Disk Detection Potential with the Keck Interferometer
If the dust content of nearby solar system is comparable to, or larger than, that of our own zodiacal disk, the thermal emission from exozodiacal disks will significantly outshine planetary companions to nearby stars.

The Mount Wilson optical interferometer: The first automated instrument and the prospects for lunar interferometry
Before contemplating an optical interferometer on the Moon one must first review the accomplishments achieved by this technology in scientific applications for astronomy. This will be done by presenting the technical status of optical interferometry as achieved by the Mount Wilson Optical Interferometer. The further developments needed for a future lunar-based interferometer are discussed.

A plan for the development of lunar astronomy
This is a report synthesizing discussions of the Astronomy/Astrophysics Definition Team at the Lunar Science Strategy Workshop for the Exploration and Development of the moon which was held at the NASA Johnson Space Center during August 15-16, 1989. The long-term goal of lunar based astronomy is envisioned as the development of a diverse facility covering all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. This facility will build on and eventually replace the Great Observatories. The development of optical and infrared interferometry should be a principal activity, optimized by a lunar site. However, lunar observatories should evolve from simple to complex systems and should not and need not make major demands on the limited amount of manpower envisioned for the first 20 years of the lunar outpost.
