Scientific paper

We present sub-milliarcseond resolution observations of two nearby rapid rotators α Cephei and α Ophiuchi, obtained with the CHARA array. We reconstruct an aperture synthesis image for α Cep. We also construct gravity darkening models for both stars and precisely determine their geometry, polar and equatorial radii and temperatures, as well as their fractional rotation speed.
