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…
