SPECKLE IMAGING IN ASTRONOMY

This article discusses current research in speckle interferometry and speckle imaging in astronomy. These techniques continue to have a sign ificant impact on problems such as stellar formation, stellar masses, and planetary astronomy. In a regime of increasingly sophisticated and impressive instrumentation designed for high-resolution imaging, ther e is still an important role for the single-aperture passive technique of speckle imaging.
