Abstract
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is currently in routine operation for programs such as the Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial planetary Systems (HOSTS), and its associated exoplanet survey, LEECH. Additional modes of operation are in various stages of being demonstrated and planned, including imaging interferometry, integral field spectroscopy over the 1-5 micron range, and an update to the wavefront sensors for adaptive optics. We will present current results and instrumentation plans to continue exploiting the LBT as a unique facility for high spatial resolution, high sensitivity observations.
