Setting the Stage for the Planet Formation Imager
Abstract
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a next-generation infrared interferometer designed to image the active phases of planet formation and to take planetary “snapshots” of young systems. We outline a technology plan to make PFI a reality, identifying a potential breakthrough opportunity for making inexpensive large telescopes available.
