Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry
Fabien Malbet, Céline Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +83
Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint ob…
GRAVITY acquisition camera: characterization results
Narsireddy Anugu, Paulo Garcia, Antonio Amorim +10
GRAVITY acquisition camera implements four optical functions to track multiple beams of Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI): a) pupil tracker: a lenslet images…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey. II. First spatially resolved observations of the CO bandhead emission in a high-mass YSO
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Fedriani +50
The inner regions of the discs of high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) are still poorly known due to the small angular scales and the high visual extinction involved. We deploy…
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…
The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey -- I. Probing the disks of Herbig Ae/Be stars in terrestrial orbits
K. Perraut, L. Labadie, B. Lazareff +69
The formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks are important stages in the lifetime of stars. The processes of disk evolution and planet formation are intrinsically linked…
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…
Multiple Star Systems in the Orion Nebula
GRAVITY collaboration, Martina Karl, Oliver Pfuhl +133
This work presents an interferometric study of the massive-binary fraction in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the recently comissioned GRAVITY instrument. We observe a total of 16…
Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +95
The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre. Ne…
Methods for multiple telescope beam imaging and guiding in the near infrared
N. Anugu, A. Amorim, P. Gordo +10
Atmospheric turbulence and precise measurement of the astrometric baseline vector between any two telescopes are two major challenges in implementing phase referenced interferometr…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130
GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…
