Development of quantum technologies for optical/infrared interferometry
John D. Monnier
Quantum technologies may revolutionize optical interferometry through new means to distribute and preserve electric-field amplitude and phase correlations between widely separated…
On-sky demonstration of dual-field interferometry at the CHARA Array
Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Douglas R. Gies +10
Dual-field interferometry uses a bright reference star for real-time fringe tracking, allowing a second beam combiner to record long coherent integrations on a fainter off-axis sci…
Recent and Upcoming Upgrades for MIRC-X and MYSTIC on the CHARA Array
Noura Ibrahim, Mayra Gutierrez, John D. Monnier +17
MIRC-X and MYSTIC are six-telescope near-infrared beam (1.08-2.38 m) combiners at the CHARA Array on Mt Wilson CA, USA. Ever since the commissioning of MIRC-X (J and H bands) in…
STARI: STarlight Acquisition and Reflection toward Interferometry
John D. Monnier, Prachet Jain, Shashank Kalluri +7
We present the concept for STARI: STarlight Acquisition and Reflection toward Interferometry. If launched, STARI will be the first mission to control a 3-D CubeSat formation to the…
Prospects for using drones to test formation-flying CubeSat concepts, and other astronomical applications
John D. Monnier, Prachet Jain, Mayra Gutierrez +11
Drones provide a versatile platform for remote sensing and atmospheric studies. However, strict payload mass limits and intense vibrations have proven obstacles to adoption for ast…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): Project update and future directions
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, Michael J. Ireland
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) Project is dedicated to defining a next-generation facility that can answer fundamental questions about how planets form, including detection of y…
