Day 4 of #exoplanets5 is kicked off by Sylvestre Lacour on the direct detection of exoplanets with optical interferometry.
Direct imaging is a magic tool for planets far away from their host star, where we can resolve the light from the star and planet (unlike for transits etc). But the planets don’t need to be as far away from the star for the method called interferometry as for imaging. If you look at the right plot, what we want to do is to fill this gap.
