Towards controlled Fizeau observations with the Large Binocular Telescope
, 2018 The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) can perform Fizeau interferometry in the focal plane, which accesses spatial information out to the LBT's full 22.7-m edge-to-edge baseline.

Delay Compensation for Real Time Disturbance Estimation at Extremely Large Telescopes [PDF]
, 2016 In ground-based astronomy, aberrations due to structural vibrations, such as piston, limit the achievable resolution and cannot be corrected using adaptive optics (AO) for large telescopes.

Enabling the direct detection of earth-sized exoplanets with the LBTI HOSTS project: a progress report [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2016 NASA has funded a project called the Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems (HOSTS) to survey nearby solar type stars to determine the amount of warm zodiacal dust in their habitable zones. The goal is not only to determine the luminosity distribution function but also to know which individual stars have the least amount of zodiacal dust.

Design of the iLocater Acquisition Camera Demonstration System
, 2015 Existing planet-finding spectrometers are limited by systematic errors that result from their seeing-limited design. Of particular concern is the use of multi-mode fibers (MMFs), which introduce modal noise and accept significant amounts of background ...
