March 15-16, 2007
At the kind invitation of Dr. Ben Oppenheimer, members of the CHARA collaboration gathered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for a two-day review of scientific and technical progress made during 2006. This happened in coincidence with the opening of a new exhibit on exoplanet detection instrumentation. On display in this exhibit is the famous 20-ft Michelson Interferometer, on special loan to the AMNH, which was used on the Mount Wilson 100-inch telescope from 1919 to about 1927. That instrument began the Mount Wilson tradition of interferometry, which culminates today with the CHARA Array.
The participants in "CHARA Year Three" are shown in the photograph and key below and followed by copies of the individual presentations made at the meeting.
