ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +16
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…
First Light for the GRAVITY+ Adaptive Optics: Extreme Adaptive Optics for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, F. Allouche +137
GRAVITY+ improves by orders of magnitude the sensitivity, sky-coverage and contrast of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). A central part of this project is the develop…
Multiple outflows and delayed ejections revealed by early imaging of novae
Elias Aydi, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +39
Novae are thermonuclear eruptions on accreting white dwarfs in interacting binaries. Although most of the accreted envelope is expelled, the mechanism -- impulsive ejection, multip…
The highly magnetic Wolf-Rayet binary HD 45166 resolved with VLTI/GRAVITY
K. Deshmukh, T. Shenar, A. Mérand +9
HD 45166 was recently reported to be a long-period binary comprising a B7V star and a highly magnetic (kG) hot Wolf-Rayet-like component, dubbed a…
On the Orbit of the Binary Brown Dwarf Companion GL229 Ba and Bb
William Thompson, Dori Blakely, Jerry W. Xuan +21
The companion GL229B was recently resolved by Xuan et al. (2024) as a tight binary of two brown dwarfs (Ba and Bb) through VLTI-GRAVITY interferometry and VLT-CRIRES+ RV measuremen…
VLTI/GRAVITY enables the determination of the first dynamical masses of a classical Be + stripped and bloated pre-subdwarf binary
R. Klement, Th. Rivinius, D. Baade +7
HR~6819 is the first post-mass transfer binary system composed of a classical Be star and a bloated pre-subdwarf stripped star directly confirmed by interferometry. While the Be st…
