Abstract

We discuss the capabilities of Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII) arrays which can be constructed using next generation of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) arrays. These IACT arrays will have ≈ 100 large diameter (> 8 m) optical reflectors, offering close to 5000 interferometric baselines, ranging from 50 m to more than 1000 m. SII implementation on IACT arrays will enable high resolution ( < 0.1 mas) imaging at short wavebands (B/V bands), which are optimal for study of hot stars.
