“…This allows us to identify software bottlenecks and optimize ICONNS's tracking algorithms prior to observatory deployment. It also allows us to better define and test its interfaces with the overall MROI supervisory control software 4 and other MROI sub-systems e.g. the Automated Alignment System (AAS).…”

The loop is closed on ICONN, the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer fringe tracker. Results from laboratory experiments demonstrating ICONN's ability to track realistic, atmospheric-like path difference perturbations in real-time are shown. Characterizing and understanding the behavior and limits of ICONN in a controlled environment are key for reaching the goals of the MROI. The limiting factors in the experiments were found to be the light delivery system and temporary path length correction mechanism; not the on-sky components of ICONN. ICONN was capable of tracking fringes with a coherence loss below 5%; this will only improve in its final deployment.

“…When complete, the facility will consist of ten 1.4 m diameter relocatable telescopes laid out in an equilateral-Y configuration, with 28 separate telescope pads to accommodate array reconfiguration (Creech-Eakman et al, 2010b). Full descriptions of the MROI capabilities and progress have been presented recently by Santoro et al (2010), Jorgensen and Mozurkewich (2010), Farris et al (2010), andFisher et al (2010).…”

We present a review of the interplay between the evolution of circumstellar disks and the formation of planets, both from the perspective of theoretical models and dedicated observations. Based on this, we identify and discuss fundamental questions concerning the formation and evolution of circumstellar disks and planets which can be addressed in the near future with optical and infrared long-baseline interferometers. Furthermore, the importance of complementary observations with long-baseline (sub)millimeter interferometers and high-sensitivity infrared observatories is outlined.
