Scientific paper

The 8-m class telescopes are now in full operation, while 100-m baseline interferometers (VLTI, KeckI) are starting routine operation too. A working group from the French high angular resolution community tried to identify what could be our post-VLT/VLTI instruments after 2010. Possible future instruments, ground or space-based, can be split into three main categories: Extremely large filled aperture telescopes, diluted interferometric arrays for direct imaging, and diluted interferometric arrays for aperture synthesis imaging. These concepts are compared in terms of observing capabilities and performances (spatial resolution, field of view, imaging capability, sensitivity, photometric dynamical range, etc.), technological issues (adaptive optics, phasing, instrument mount, etc.) and R&D priorities.
