The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey IV. The CO overtone emission in 51 Oph at sub-au scales

GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Koutoulaki, R. Garcia Lopez +69

51 Oph is a Herbig Ae/Be star that exhibits strong near-infrared CO ro-vibrational emission at 2.3 micron, most likely originating in the innermost regions of a circumstellar disc.…

The full Boltzmann hierarchy for dark matter-massive neutrino interactions

Markus R. Mosbech, Celine Boehm, Steen Hannestad +3

The impact of dark matter-neutrino interactions on the measurement of the cosmological parameters has been investigated in the past in the context of massless neutrinos exclusively…

Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +58

The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to Sgr…

Direct confirmation of the radial-velocity planet Pic c

M. Nowak, S. Lacour, A. -M. Lagrange +90

Methods used to detect giant exoplanets can be broadly divided into two categories: indirect and direct. Indirect methods are more sensitive to planets with a small orbital period,…

The spatially resolved broad line region of IRAS 09149-6206

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, W. Brandner +41

We present new near-infrared VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric spectra that spatially resolve the broad Br emission line in the nucleus of the active galaxy IRAS 09149-6206. We use t…

Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Jiménez-Rosales, J. Dexter +53

We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both th…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey III. The dusty disk of RY Lup

GRAVITY Collaboration, Y. -I. Bouarour, K. Perraut +55

We use PIONIER data from the ESO archive and GRAVITY data that were obtained in June 2017 with the four 8m telescopes. We use a parametric disk model and the 3D radiative transfer…

Sgr A* near-infrared flares from reconnection events in a magnetically arrested disc

J. Dexter, A. Tchekhovskoy, A. Jiménez-Rosales +14

Large-amplitude Sgr A* near-infrared flares result from energy injection into electrons near the black hole event horizon. Astrometry data show continuous rotation of the emission…

The Flux Distribution of Sgr A*

The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +54

The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* is a variable NIR source that exhibits bright flux excursions called flares. The low-flux density turnover of the flux distribution is…

Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +53

The star S2 orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* is a precision probe of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole (candidate). Over the last 2.7 decades we…

A parameter survey of Sgr A* radiative models from GRMHD simulations with self-consistent electron heating

J. Dexter, A. Jiménez-Rosales, S. M. Ressler +13

The Galactic center black hole candidate Sgr A* is the best target for studies of low-luminosity accretion physics, including with near-infrared and submillimeter wavelength long b…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey. II. First spatially resolved observations of the CO bandhead emission in a high-mass YSO

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Fedriani +50

The inner regions of the discs of high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) are still poorly known due to the small angular scales and the high visual extinction involved. We deploy…

Modeling the orbital motion of Sgr A*'s near-infrared flares

The GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Bauböck, J. Dexter +53

Infrared observations of Sgr A* probe the region close to the event horizon of the black hole at the Galactic center. These observations can constrain the properties of low-luminos…
