Interferometry

Interferometry is a measurement technique that belongs to the class of observational methods in which the interference of electromagnetic waves—typically from separated apertures or sources—is analyzed to extract high-precision information about the structure, position, or spectral properties of astronomical sources, thereby distinguishing it from direct imaging or single-aperture observation strategies.
