VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of AF Lep b: Preference for Circular Orbits, Cloudy Atmospheres, and a Moderately Enhanced Metallicity
William O. Balmer, Kyle Franson, Antoine Chomez +26
Direct imaging observations are biased towards wide-separation, massive companions that have degenerate formation histories. Although the majority of exoplanets are expected to for…
The cool brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is a close binary
Jerry W. Xuan, A. Mérand, W. Thompson +76
Owing to their similarities with giant exoplanets, brown dwarf companions of stars provide insights into the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution. From their orb…
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…
Four-of-a-kind? Comprehensive atmospheric characterisation of the HR 8799 planets with VLTI/GRAVITY
E. Nasedkin, P. Mollière, S. Lacour +95
With four companions at separations from 16 to 71 au, HR 8799 is a unique target for direct imaging, presenting an opportunity for the comparative study of exoplanets with a shared…
Combining Gaia and GRAVITY: Characterising five new Directly Detected Substellar Companions
T. O. Winterhalder, S. Lacour, A. Mérand +96
Precise mass constraints are vital for the characterisation of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. Here we present how the combination of data obtained by Gaia and GRAVITY can help enlarg…
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…
