Towards an extended VLTI: a roadmap for kilometer baseline interferometry at Paranal Observatory
In the 2030s, optical/IR interferometry will be the natural next step to push angular resolution beyond the current VLT/I and ELTs. Key astrophysical questions in that time-frame are the fundamental tests of General Relativity, the evolution of supermassive black holes across cosmic time, the understanding of exoplanet...
