YSO studies with infrared interferometers

Abstract

The observational technique of long baseline infrared interferometry provides a unique opportunity for studying the small scale structure of young stellar objects, particularly circumstellar disks and multiplicity. The technique of infrared interferometry is briefly described and observations of young stellar objects are reviewed.

Keck Interferometer Science: Present and Future

The Keck Interferometer is a NASA funded project developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the William M. Keck Observatory and the Michelson Science Center at the California Institute of Technology. A technical description of the interferometer is given elsewhere in this volume. This paper will discuss the science topics and goals of the Keck Interferometer project, including a brief description of the Key Science projects, the science projects executed to date and the current availability of the interferometer for new projects. The Keck Interferometer Project consists of the Keck-Keck Interferometer, which combines the two Keck lo-meter telescopes on an 85-meter baseline, and the Outrigger Telescopes Project, a proposal to add four to six 1.8-meter telescopes that would work in conjunction with the two Kecks.
