Scientific paper

High resolution speckle interferometry, speckle masking and speckle spectroscopy with the European Southern Observatory's planned Very Large Telescope (VLT) are discussed. These methods are noted to yield exactly diffraction-limited resolution, lambda/D; so that 0.01-arcsec resolution is obtainable in the case of an aperture diameter, D, of 10 m, and 0.0005 arcsec resolution is achievable in the case of an array with a baseline, D, of 200 m. Limiting magnitude, seeing dependence, influence of aberration, and influence of dome seeing, are illustrated for various high resolution measurements. The suggested construction of a three-telescope array has the advantage of additional use for long baseline speckle work, as well as three-telescope intensity interferometry.
