Science opportunities enabled by the era of Visible Band Stellar Imaging with sub-100 {\mu}arc-sec angular resolution
This white paper briefly summarizes stellar science opportunities enabled by ultra-high resolution (sub-100 {\mu} arc-sec) astronomical imaging in the visible (U/V) wavebands. Next generation arrays of Imaging Cherenkov telescopes, to be constructed in the next decade, can provide unprecedented visi...

Zusammenfassung: | This white paper briefly summarizes stellar science opportunities enabled by ultra-high resolution (sub-100 {\mu} arc-sec) astronomical imaging in the visible (U/V) wavebands. Next generation arrays of Imaging Cherenkov telescopes, to be constructed in the next decade, can provide unprecedented visible band imaging of several thousand bright (m< 6), hot (O/B/A) stars using a modern implementation of Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII). This white paper describes the astrophysics/astronomy science opportunities that may be uncovered in this new observation space during the next decade. |
