Abstract
We are working towards imaging the surfaces and circumstellar envelopes
of Mira stars in the near-infrared, using the IOTA interferometer and
the IONIC integrated-optics 3-beam combiner. In order to study
atmospheric structures of these stars, we installed 3 narrow-band
filters that subdivide H-band into 3 roughly equal-width sub-bands - a
central one for continuum, and 2 adjacent ones to sample Mira star's
(mostly water) absorption-bands. We present here our characterization of
the IOTA 3-Telescope interferometer for closure-phase measurements with
broad and narrow-band filters in the H atmospheric window. This includes
characterizing the stability, chromaticity, and polarization effects of
the present IOTA optics with the IONIC beam-combiner, and characterizing
the accuracy of our closure phase measurements.
