Scientific paper

The Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at Paranal Observatory had another extension of its already impressive capabilities by combining interferometrically the light from two relocatable 1.8-m Auxiliary Telescopes in February 2005. This achievement heralds an era of new scientific discoveries. Both Auxiliary Telescopes will be offered from October 1, 2005 to the community of astronomers for routine observations, together with the MIDI instrument. By the end of 2006, Paranal will be home to four operational ATs that may be placed at 30 different positions and thus be combined in a very large number of ways (baselines). This will enable the VLTI to operate with enormous flexibility and, in particular, to obtain extremely sharp images of celestial objects.
