Masking<br />

A key observable when analysing aperture-masking data is<br />

closure-phase. The phase of each splodge in the OTF<br />

changes with seeing <strong>and</strong> slow mirror shape changes, but<br />

the closure-phase doesn’t. i.e. the image closure-phase is<br />

the object closure-phase.<br />

Summary<br />

The equivalent in speckle interferometry is the bispectrum. Cool but tricky.
