The mass distribution in the Galactic Centre from interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +62

The stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Centre are precision probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole. In addition to adap…

Deep Images of the Galactic Center with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +65

Stellar orbits at the Galactic Center provide a very clean probe of the gravitational potential of the supermassive black hole. They can be studied with unique precision, beyond th…

Constraining particle acceleration in Sgr A* with simultaneous GRAVITY, Spitzer, NuSTAR and Chandra observations

R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +81

We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the -, -, and -bands in the mid- an…

MOLsphere and pulsations of the Galactic Center's red supergiant GCIRS 7 from VLTI/GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, G. Rodríguez-Coira, T. Paumard +55

GCIRS 7, the brightest star in the Galactic central parsec, formed Myr ago together with dozens of massive stars in a disk orbiting the central black-hole. It has been argu…

Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE

V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149

The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…

Improved GRAVITY astrometric accuracy from modeling of optical aberrations

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +60

The GRAVITY instrument on the ESO VLTI pioneers the field of high-precision near-infrared interferometry by providing astrometry at the as level. Measurements at such…
