Scientific paper

The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is designed to probe nearby stars for dust disks, indicative of planetesimal belts, as well as giant planets in wide orbits (>3 AU). The instrument provides a unique combination of resolution and sensitivity in the thermal infrared to achieve these objectives. Both of these programs will provide important insights into the architecture for other planetary systems. The discovery space of the LBTI is presented, as well as recent observational results from prototype instruments now being carried out at the MMT Observatory.
