N2 - Closure-phase science and technology are dominant features of the recent
activity at IOTA. Our science projects include imaging several
spectroscopic binary stars, imaging YSOs including Herbig AeBe stars,
detecting asymmetries in a large sample of Mira stars, and measuring
water shells around Miras. Many technology projects were pursued in
order to make these science observations possible. These include
installation of a third-generation integrated-optics 3-beam combiner
(IONIC), completion of the real-time control system software,
installation of fringe-packet tracking software, use of narrow sub-H
band filters, validation of the phase-closure operation, development of
CPLD control of the science camera (PICNIC) and star-tracker camera
(LLiST), installation of a new star-tracker camera, expansion of the
observing facility, and installation of new semi-automated optical
alignment tools.
