ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +15
The paper describes recent user‑focused upgrades to the VLTI, including new guiding and instrument modes, enhanced observation‑planning tools, and the availability of reduced GRAVI…
ESOFinder: an LLM-powered tool to help users navigate ESO documentation
P. Sánchez-Sáez, C. Reinero, M. Vioque +6
The large amount and diversity of documentation available for users of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), spanning the full observing lifecycle from proposal preparation and…
VLTI-GRAVITY observations of blazars
Talvikki Hovatta, Elina Lindfors, Heidi Korhonen +5
Parsec-scale jets of blazars have so far been spatially resolved only in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, where very long baseline interferometry can be used to obtain mil…
VLTI-GRAVITY measurements of cool evolved stars: II. Pulsation properties and mass-loss process of the Mira star R Car and the red supergiant VX Sgr
D. Jadlovský, M. Wittkowski, A. Chiavassa +9
The mass-loss process of red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and its relation to variability are poorly constrained. We study two evolved stars, the Mira-t…
X TrA through the eyes of MATISSE: More evidence of clumpy molecular layers around C-type asymptotic giant branch stars
V. RÄstÄu, C. Paladini, J. Drevon +22
Aims. The goal of this study is to further the understanding of the wind formation mechanism in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars through the analysis of the close environment (w…
Observations and Radiative Transfer Simulations of the Carbon-rich AGB star V Oph with VLTI/MATISSE
Jon Hulberg, Gioia Rau, Markus Wittkowski
Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the most important contributors of enriched materials to the interstellar medium due to their strong stellar winds. To ful…
