Abstract
The AMBER instrument installed at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) combines the beams from three telescopes to produce spectrally dispersed interference fringes with milli-arcsecond
angular scales in the near infrared. Three years after installation, first scientific observations have been carried out mostly during the Science Demonstration Time and the
Guaranteed Time. The first science has mainly focused on the environment of various types of stars. Because AMBER has dramatically increased the number of measures per baseline,
this instrument brings strong constraints on morphology and models.
