Peering into the formation history of beta Pictoris b with VLTI/GRAVITY long baseline interferometry
GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Nowak, S. Lacour +65
Our objective is to estimate the C/O ratio in the atmosphere of beta Pictoris b and obtain an estimate of the dynamical mass of the planet, as well as to refine its orbital paramet…
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…
GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core
GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132
Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…
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…
The GRAVITY fringe tracker: correlation between optical path residuals and atmospheric parameters
S. Lacour, R. Dembet, R. Abuter +8
After the first year of observations with the GRAVITY fringe tracker, we compute correlations between the optical path residuals and atmospheric and astronomical parameters. The me…
