Abstract

AbstractAn Amplitude Interferometer based on the design of an earlier interferometer but with two independent telescopes has been built at Maryland, The design and the current status of the instrument will be discussed.This interferometer has been built with automatic guiding in each arm and is intended for use with baselines of 50 meters but can be used with longer baselines at restricted declinations.The visibility detection will be exactly the same as that used in the cassegrain model of the interferometer which has operated successfully for several years on the 100 and 200 inch Hale telescopes. The visibility will be measured simultaneously in three different paths with slightly different delays which will allow for automatic location and tracking of the white light fringe envelope.
