We report the first intensity correlation measured with star light since Hanbury Brown and Twiss' historical experiments. The photon bunching g (2) (τ, r = 0), obtained in the photon counting regime, was measured for 3 bright stars, α Boo, α CMi, and β Gem. The light was collected at the focal plane of a 1 m optical telescope, was transported...

We present intensity interferometry of the luminous blue variable P Cyg in the light of its H$\alpha$ emission performed with 1 m-class telescopes. We compare the measured visibility points to synthesized interferometric data based on the CMFGEN physical modeling of a high-resolution spectrum of P Cyg recorded almost simultaneously with our...
