AbstractThe Sydney University Stellar Interferometer (SUSI) is currently undergoing commissioning and will soon commence its astronomical program in which observations of double stars will form a major component. With its 640-m long North–South array of input siderostats, the new instrument will have unprecedented angular resolution.

The Stellar Interferometer at Narrabri Observatory consists of two large reflectors which focus the light from a star on to two photoelectric detectors. The output currents from these detectors contain fluctuations which correspond to fluctuations in the starlight itself. The fluctuations from the two detectors are amplified in the frequency range 10-100 Mc/s and their correlation is measured by a linear multiplier. This correlation is measured as a function of the separation between the two detectors. It can be shown theoretically that the correlation at any given baseline is proportional to the square of the fringe visibility which would be observed by a classical Michelson interferometer. It is therefore possible from observations of the correlation at different baselines to find the angular diameter of a star.
