IAU Commission 54: Optical & Infrared Interferometry

Interferometry Science Briefs

These slides are available for incorporation into science talks - they should be particularly useful in reviewing previous work and in preparing overviews of the state of interferometry. Please use them in the spirit in which they have been contributed, crediting their authors appropriately.

Contributions are welcome at any time. These can be short and high level, and need not require a lot of work.

Guidelines:

• Contributions should be based on refereed publications (in press is OK).
• Please include the literature citation(s).
• Formats: Power Point (first choice), pdf (second choice).
• Preferably: Short, self-contained, and written for a general audience
• Email contributions, questions or feedback to the undersigned please.

We are particularly grateful to the volunteers who provided the first dozen examples.
