The flagship project of Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy is its optical interferometric array of six telescopes located on Mount Wilson, California. The Array functions as a single telescope to create exceptionally high angular resolution. It is particularly suited to stellar astrophysics. It is used to measure the diameters and temperatures of stars, image features such as spots and flares on their surfaces and map the orbits of close binary companions. Projects range from detecting other planetary systems, imaging stars in formation, and studies of bright transient phenomena like novae.
CHARA facilitates cutting-edge research and learning experience for students and faculty. Give today and further expand the learning opportunities for students among the stars.
