Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Jiménez-Rosales, J. Dexter +53

We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both th…

Sgr A* near-infrared flares from reconnection events in a magnetically arrested disc

J. Dexter, A. Tchekhovskoy, A. Jiménez-Rosales +14

Large-amplitude Sgr A* near-infrared flares result from energy injection into electrons near the black hole event horizon. Astrometry data show continuous rotation of the emission…

The Flux Distribution of Sgr A*

The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +54

The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* is a variable NIR source that exhibits bright flux excursions called flares. The low-flux density turnover of the flux distribution is…

An image of the dust sublimation region in the nucleus of NGC 1068

GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Pfuhl, R. Davies +40

We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Inter…

Scalar field effects on the orbit of S2 star

António Amorim, Michael Bauböck, Myriam Benisty +35

Precise measurements of the S-stars orbiting SgrA* have set strong constraints on the nature of the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. The presence of a black hole in t…

First direct detection of an exoplanet by optical interferometry; Astrometry and K-band spectroscopy of HR8799 e

S. Lacour, M. Nowak, J. Wang +85

To date, infrared interferometry at best achieved contrast ratios of a few times on bright targets. GRAVITY, with its dual-field mode, is now capable of high contrast obs…
