Abstract
Optical long baseline interferometry is a technique sensitive to sky projected brightness distributions, constituting a powerful tool for the study of detailed stellar surface structures. Moreover, by combining high spectral and angular resolution we obtain a technique called differential interferometry that is also sensitive to mechanisms that induce chromatic signatures, such as stellar spots and large scale mass motions (e.g. rapid rotation, non-radial pulsations, shear currents produced by hydrodynamical instabilities). We present here a study of the signatures of stellar rotation on differential interferometry observables showing that they are very sensitive to differential rotation and stellar inclination.
