In this work we present an observational technique and a detailed analysis of the stellar interferograms produced by three bright stars: Betelgeuse, Rigel and Sirius. It is shown that the atmospheric turbulence is responsible for the reduction of the long-exposure fringe visibility of the obtained interference patterns. By using different baselines in our interferometer, we are able to distinguish the decay of the visibility with the baseline, how different parameters such us the diameter of the holes in our interferometer or their distribution affects the pattern, and to measure the turbulence with the estimation of the Fried parameter r0. The work and methodology are presented as a method for postgraduate students that targets practical learning of optical interferometry in astronomy and how it is affected by several causes, such as the atmospheric turbulence.

  1. Observing of background electromagnetic radiation of the real sky through the throat of a wormhole

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A simulation shows that a nearby wormhole mouth would project a lensed image of the real CMB sky and Milky Way inside its silhouette, offering a possible observational signature distinct from a black hole.
