Recent astrophysical results from the VLTI
The Messenger, v.119, pg.36-42 (2005)
Abstract
We present a review of recent astrophysical results based on data
obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI).
The very first VLTI results have already been reviewed by Richichi
& Paresce (2003). Remarkably, the first scientific results from
the mid-infrared instrument MIDI, which emerge from science
demonstration and guaranteed time observations, already cover a very
broad
range of astrophysical topics. These topics include active galactic
nuclei, young stellar objects and protoplanetary discs, the
environments
of hot stars, as well as evolved stars and their envelopes.
