Precision Astronomy Group

The Precision Astronomy Group is in the Radio and Geoastronomy Division at the Center for Astrophysics. Our two prime areas of study are

Optical interferometry, including
- development of the spaceborne POINTS instrument and a simpler precursor instrument known as Newcomb, and
- contributions to the IOTA (Infrared-Optical Telescope Array) project, which is developing a ground-based interferometer; and
Solar system dynamics and general relativity

Bob Reasenberg is also a member of the IOTA (Infrared-Optical Telescope Array) consortium, which has recently completed the early stages of testing the IOTA ground-based interferometer.
