«The Hubble Space telescope and KECK2 are unique facilities providing complementary
high angular resolution observations to characterise these cold planets orbiting very distant stars,» Beaulieu said.
However,
high angular resolution observations with ALMA opened a new window to understand their formation environment in further details.
Since it is thought that high - mass stars are born in clusters far away from the Earth, it is impossible to understand their formation process in detail without
high angular resolution observations.

Since the
angular resolution provided by ALMA was 36 times
higher than that applied to the past CO
observations, the
observation results clearly revealed the details of complex structure and kinematics of gas.
[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.
Relying on telescopes in Arizona and Hawaii (which would eventually be part of the EHT), they tried to get
observations of Sagittarius A * at
higher angular resolutions than had been possible before, but failed to detect the signals they expected to see in the immediate vicinity of the black hole.
Using the
high angular resolution of the Keck II telescope, combined with a large number of photometric
observations taken since 1957, the team built a refined shape hoping to get a clue to the origin of the system.
The
observations made possible by the band 9 receivers allow astronomers to study molecular clouds — the dense regions of gas and dust where new stars are being born — at
higher temperatures and densities, and with
higher angular resolution, thus complementing the longer wavelength bands.
Abstract: The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer uses a near - infrared camera to measure the optical path length variations between the two AO - corrected apertures and provide
high -
angular resolution observations for all its science channels (1.5 - 13 $ \ mu $ m).
Abstract: We report the results of
high -
angular -
resolution observations that search for exozodiacal light in a sample of main sequence stars and sub-giants.
