Scientific paper

While the Michelson Interferometer examined starlight atop the Mt. Wilson 100-inch telescope nearly 100 years ago, it's taken decades for interferometric instrumentation to begin to enter the mainstream of astrophysics. We report on one application of these methods: measuring the near-infrared angular diameter of the eclipsing binary star, epsilon Aurigae, using the 100 meter Palomar Testbed Interferometer located adjacent to the more famous 200-inch telescope atop Mt. Palomar.
