Scientific paper

The scientific advantages of imaging astronomical targets in the ultraviolet (wavelength 1200-3000) region of the spectrum are discussed. Experience with ultraviolet spectroscopy of objects using the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and recent ultraviolet imaging from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) on the Astro mission and HST, which combined with theoretical expectations has provided the basis to identify important scientific problems that can be addressed by imaging ultraviolet interferometry, is considered. The ultraviolet imaging of cool stars, globular clusters and galaxies, are discussed. Current achievements in ultraviolet imaging are summarized and the spatial resolution required for imaging elements in and around various stellar and extragalactic targets is given. It is concluded that examples of interest to ultraviolet imaging include imaging of stars and binary systems, dense cores of star clusters, and galactic nuclei and jets.
