Scientific paper

Consideration is given to ways to remap the exit pupils of a ring-shaped array of optical telescopes to obtain simultaneous spectral and angular information about the object under study. Such an array, operated as a long baseline interferometer in space, would attain very large intermiting magnitudes in absence of atmospheric turbulence, and open a new imaging window down to 100-nm wavelengths. The use of this instrument in typical photon-noisy situations is discussed and a spatiotemporal technique is proposed to integrate the flying fringe pattern recorded by a time-tagged detector at its focal plane.
