Planetary science with the Large Binocular Telescope: Viewing the Solar System with a 23-meter aperture
Abstract
With more glass on a single mount, LBT provides unique capabilities for planetary science for both high angular resolution at infrared wavelengths now (including Fizeau interferometry for a 23m mode), and visible wavelengths in the near future. For faint objects, the un-phased mode yielding the collecting area of a 12-meter telescope is useful for obtaining both light curves and spectra of small bodies
