A list of optical long-baseline optical/IR interferometry articles with images

Optical/IR stellar long-baseline interferometry (OLBI) has long been considered as a playground for optical engineers rather than a tool for astrophysics. Another frequent say is that OLBI is not useful because it do not produce images.

Today, OLBI do produce results far beyond the simple interpretation of few datapoints on a graph (see e.g. Lebouquin et al. 2009). On this page, I try to list the papers which contains images produced by OLBI. Comments or additions (by sending me an email) to this list are welcome.
