Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to design the configuration of the interferometric array working with a large telescope. It limits the array configuration region and minimum aperture distance to make sure baseline length is in a certain interval. And it gives aperture locations by “push” and “pull” operations. The UV-plane coverage obtained from this method has the advantage that there is no overlap between UV-plane coverage from the interferometric array and the large aperture telescope, and the overall UV-plane coverage is non-redundant and symmetric. Specifically, design results with varying diameters of the large telescope are provided.
