Intensity interferometry measures light wave coherence using intensity fluctuations, overcoming limitations of amplitude-based methods in space. This technique is feasible for observing faint stars and enables global sky surveys from a single orbit.

Area of Science:

  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • Optical Interferometry
  • Space Science

Background:

  • Traditional Michelson stellar interferometers face challenges in space due to amplitude measurement difficulties.
  • Intensity interferometry offers an alternative by correlating intensity fluctuations, not amplitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the applicability of intensity interferometry for observing faint stellar sources.
  • To propose methods for global sky observation campaigns with reduced fuel consumption.
  • To introduce computational interferometry for full-sky observation from a single orbit.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing correlations between intensity fluctuations of light waves.
  • Developing control laws for spacecraft positioning and baseline maintenance.
