A first look at the protoplanet WISPIT 2 b with VLTI/GRAVITY+

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter +116

Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the…

Spatially resolved broad line region in a quasar at z=4: Dynamical black hole mass and prominent outflow

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +92

We present the first near-infrared interferometric data of a QSO at z=4. The K-band observations were performed with GRAVITY+ on the VLTI using all four UTs, detecting a differenti…

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…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XI. Probing the inner disk and magnetospheric accretion region of CI Tau

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Soulain, K. Perraut +6

Aims: We aim at spatially and spectrally resolving the innermost scale of the young stellar object CI Tau to constrain the inner disk properties and better understand the magnetosp…

A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +45

The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI/GRAVITY. A reverbe…

GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet

J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94

We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…

The central parsec of NGC 3783: a rotating broad emission line region, asymmetric hot dust structure, and compact coronal line region

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +47

Using VLTI/GRAVITY and SINFONI data, we investigate the sub-pc gas and dust structure around the nearby type 1 AGN hosted by NGC 3783. The K-band coverage of GRAVITY uniquely allow…

Improved GRAVITY astrometric accuracy from modeling of optical aberrations

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +60

The GRAVITY instrument on the ESO VLTI pioneers the field of high-precision near-infrared interferometry by providing astrometry at the as level. Measurements at such…

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…

Peering into the formation history of beta Pictoris b with VLTI/GRAVITY long baseline interferometry

GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Nowak, S. Lacour +65

Our objective is to estimate the C/O ratio in the atmosphere of beta Pictoris b and obtain an estimate of the dynamical mass of the planet, as well as to refine its orbital paramet…

Spatially resolved rotation of the broad-line region of a quasar at sub-parsec scale

GRAVITY Collaboration, E. Sturm, J. Dexter +32

The broadening of atomic emission lines by high-velocity motion of gas near accreting supermassive black holes is an observational hallmark of quasars. Observations of broad emissi…

GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core

GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132

Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…
