Making the most of the LBTI nulling interferometry observations using a statistical data reduction method

• Well tested and improved method • Statistical data reduction method gives more accurate results • Adaption of the method to N‐band LBTI data still on‐going (improved background handling, non single‐mode treatment, ...) • Going further: improve the method to use 2D images from the LBTI and use the phase information from the fringe sensor Fig. 2 Resulting observed histogram Fig. 1 Flux measurements at null for HD104979 Fig. 4 Associated χ2 as a function of the astrophysical null, corresponding to the best fit histogram giving the best estimators for the 3 parameters Fig. 3 Observed histogram (solid line, in terms of interferometric signal) and modeled histogram (diamonds)
