Abstract

The mid-infrared instrument for VLTI MIDI is designed to allow operations in the 10 and 20 micron atmospheric windows. Here we discuss the science potential of MIDI at 20microns. This wavelength region probes dust at temperatures of ~150 K and has important diagnostic spectral features of gas and dust.
