Abstract
ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) was a unique facility when it was conceived more than 30 years ago, and it remains competitive today in the field of milli-arcsecond angular resolution astronomy. Over the past decade, while the VLTI matured into an operationally efficient facility, it became limited by its first-generation instruments. As the second generation of VLTI instrumentation achieves first light, further developments for this unique facility are being planned and are described here.
