The CHARA Array

We're hiring! We're looking for a new Assistant Site Manager. If you're interested or know someone who is, check out the job ad at gsu.taleo.net/careersection/…

@CHARAArray Don't forget the best part -- the telescopes will be connected using single mode fibers!

CHARA has plans to add a seventh telescope to the CHARA Array to expand the available baselines to 1 km!! 🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭 We are searching for two people to help with this initiative - an Instrument Scientist and a Postdoc IS- jobregister.aas.org/ad/caacb136 PD- jobregister.aas.org/ad/2cc5d024

We are holding a special session at #AAS235 on "Imaging Stars: A Century of Advances in High Angular Resolution"! Join on Tuesday, Jan 7th at 10:00-11:30 am. For more info, visit chara.gsu.edu/workshops/aas-…

New Postdoc Opportunity at the CHARA Array! facebook.com/permalink.php?…

The last few nights, we have been getting some 🔭🔭🔭 MIRC-X 🔭🔭🔭 data on the recurrent nova V3890 Sgr. We're looking forward to seeing how the observations turn out!

Is there even any atmosphere above a telescope if seeing gets above 20 cm? Feel like I should call in to @CHARAArray to ensure the telescope operator can still breathe!

@vrooje If you're interested in high angular resolution astronomy and other results from @CHARAArray, we're holding a conf in Exeter next Spring. You can pre-register here to stay up-to-date: sites.exeter.ac.uk/sharpesteyes20…

@astrokiwi @Tuffers_c @vrooje We can! The challenge with Solar System objects is finding one that's both bright enough (m_H <~8) and the right size (~0.5-10 milliarcseconds)

Thanks again to @LowellObs for being such amazing hosts!

We ended our meeting yesterday with an excellent tour of NPOI by @FringeDoctor

We're back from the coffee break and now @FringeDoctor is leading our discussion on the interferometry community's contributions to the Astro2020 decadal survey

After an excellent discussion on CHARA's future, we'd like to thank our excellent hosts here at @LowellObs - @FringeDoctor and Jelena Lane

We're starting day 3 with a discussion on the future of CHARA, but beforehand our former director Hal McAlister says hello from his happy retirement on the road

And that's day 2. Looking forward to day 3 tomorrow!

Michelle Creech-Eakman is wrapping up day 2 with an update on MROI at @MRObservatory

Starting off our final session of day 2, Katie Lester is going to be telling us about the visual orbits of spectroscopic binaries
