| Popis: |
This conference is concerned with the very high resolution imaging of cosmic sources in many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Various techniques are now available and the equipment is often automated and highly sophisticated but the term `very high angular resolution’ is comparative. Many of the problems existed over forty years ago when the best resolving power was about half a degree and the two major radio `stars’ appeared to be point sources. Very high resolution imaging in those days was the struggle to reach one minute of arc and Hanbury Brown had set his sights on considerably better than one second of arc with the concept of the intensity interferometer. The dream was to achieve a resolving power comparable to that of optical telescopes. |
