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…
VLTI/PIONIER imaging of post-AGB binaries. An INSPIRING hunt for inner rim substructures in circumbinary discs
Toon De Prins, Akke Corporaal, Jacques Kluska +10
We image the detailed inner rim morphology for a sample of post-AGB circumbinary discs observed using NIR interferometry. At resolutions down to ~1-2 mas (corresponding to ~1-10 AU…
Spatial and spectral constraints on resolved mass-loss of the massive Post-RSG star IRAS 17163-3907 and its Fried Egg Nebula
E. Koumpia, A. Cikota, W. -J. de Wit +12
The fate of massive stars during the latest stages of their evolution is highly dependent on their mass-loss rate and geometry. These processes have a significant influence on star…
Exoplanet atmospheres and demographics in the 2040s
Jens Kammerer, Sydney Vach, Sylvestre Lacour +7
Direct observations of exoplanets probe the demographics and atmospheric composition of young self-luminous companions, yielding insight into their formation and early evolution hi…
Bridging stellar evolution and planet formation: from birth, to survivors of the fittest, to the second generation of planets
Akke Corporaal, Toon De Prins, Léa Planquart +10
Stars and planets form, live, and evolve in unison. Throughout the life of a star, dusty circumstellar discs and stellar outflows influence the further evolution of both the star(s…
SPHERE/ZIMPOL insights into discs around evolved stars: arcs, asymmetries and dust properties
Kateryna Andrych, Devika Kamath, Hans Van Wincke +5
Second-generation circumbinary discs around evolved binary stars, such as post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) binaries, provide insights into poorly understood mechanisms of du…
