Ultimate Angular Resolution Astrophysics with kernel-phase and full-aperture interferometry (KERNEL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

Astronomy requires large telescopes to improve the sensitivity and the angular resolution of its observations. Of these qualities, angular resolution is the most difficult to maintain in the optical and near-infrared, since the atmosphere reduces it to that of a 10 cm aperture, regardless of the telescope size. On the one-hand, Adaptive Optics (AO) actively compensates for this effect but the impr ...
