Bayesian Image Reconstruction with Spatially Variant PSFs in X-ray Astronomy

Vincent Eberle, Matteo Guardiani, Margret Westerkamp +4

X-ray observatories introduce unwanted instrumental effects into photon count data that must be accurately accounted for. In particular, the spatially variant point spread function…

High contrast at short separation with VLTI/GRAVITY: Bringing Gaia companions to light

N. Pourré, T. O. Winterhalder, J. -B. Le Bouquin +173

Since 2019, GRAVITY has provided direct observations of giant planets and brown dwarfs at separations of down to 95 mas from the host star. Some of these observations have provided…

A catalogue of dual-field interferometric binary calibrators

M. Nowak, S. Lacour, R. Abuter +97

Dual-field interferometric observations with VLTI/GRAVITY sometimes require the use of a "binary calibrator", a binary star whose individual components remain unresolved by the int…

Polarization analysis of the VLTI and GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, F. Widmann, X. Haubois N. Schuhler +59

The goal of this work is to characterize the polarization effects of the VLTI and GRAVITY. This is needed to calibrate polarimetric observations with GRAVITY for instrumental effec…
