An overview of the mid-infrared spectro-interferometer MATISSE: science, concept, and current status
A. Matter, B. Lopez, P. Antonelli +104
MATISSE is the second-generation mid-infrared spectrograph and imager for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at Paranal. This new interferometric instrument will allow…
The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?
J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133
Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…
VLTI-AMBER velocity-resolved aperture-synthesis imaging of Eta Carinae with a spectral resolution of 12000. Studies of the primary star wind and innermost wind-wind collision
G. Weigelt, K. -H. Hofmann, D. Schertl +26
Context. The mass loss from massive stars is not understood well. Eta Car is a unique object for studying the massive stellar wind during the LBV phase. It is also an eccentric bin…
The complex inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 100453 with VLTI/MATISSE
L. N. A. van Haastere, J. Varga, M. R. Hogerheijde +35
The inner regions of planet-forming disks hold invaluable insights for our understanding of planet formation. The disk around the Herbig star HD 100453 presents one such environmen…
VLTI-MATISSE L- and N-band aperture-synthesis imaging of the unclassified B[e] star FS Canis Majoris
K. -H. Hofmann, A. Bensberg, D. Schertl +58
Context: FS Canis Majoris (FS CMa, HD 45677) is an unclassified B[e] star surrounded by an inclined dust disk. The evolutionary stage of FS CMa is still debated. Perpendicular to t…
First AMBER/VLTI observations of hot massive stars
R. G. Petrov, F. Millour, O. Chesneau +45
AMBER is the first near infrared focal instrument of the VLTI. It combines three telescopes and produces spectrally resolved interferometric measures. This paper discusses some pre…
