Twenty Years of Double-Star Interferometry and its Lessons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 July 2018
Extract
If we may judge by the number of eulogistic review articles to which it gave rise, one of the main talking points among astronomers in the early nineteen-twenties was undoubtedly the application of the interferometer to optical astronomy. It was only natural that interest was focused mainly on the brilliant success of Michelson and Pease (1921} in measuring stellar diameters with the 20-ft beam interferometer on the 100-in Mount Wilson reflector.
