Sentences with phrase «for high angular resolution»

On January 10, 2006, astronomers using the infrared Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array announced that Vega rotates so fast (at around 91 percent of its «break - up rate») that it is cooler as well as 23 percent wider along its equator than at its poles due to the gravitational effect of its «middle bulge» (NOAO press release; AAS 207 session summary); and Aufdenberg et al, 2006).

[2] Previous observations were made with the CHARA array — an optical astronomical interferometer operated by the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) of the Georgia State University, and its fibred beam combiner FLUOR.

Around the same time, at Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA), astronomer Harold McAlister championed an interferometry machine combining the light from six separate telescopes on California's Mount Wilson.
