... What you see is all you get! • So you need to squeeze EVERY last drop of information out of the light we get. • This semester we’ll see how we can use light to: 1. Weigh a planet. 2. Take a star’s temperature. 3. Tell what’s in the center of a star a thousand lightyears away. 4. Tell what our Galax ...

... For pupil plane (Keck), the phase difference depends on source position on the sky, which limits the field of view. For image plane (LBT), the field can be larger, but is still limited by phase errors induced by the atmosphere and the size of the area over which this can be corrected (with say AO). ...
