Abstract
The following exercises aim to learn the link between the object intensity distribution and the corresponding visibility curves of a long-baseline optical interferometer.
They are also intended to show the additional constraints on observability that an interferometer has. This practical session is meant to be carried out with the ASPRO
software, from the Jean-Marie Mariotti Center, but can also be done using other observation preparation software, such as viscalc from ESO. There are two main parts with
series of exercises and the exercises corrections. The first one aims at understanding the visibility and its properties by practicing with simple examples, and the second
one is about UV coverage.
