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…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIV : Investigating the magnetospheric accretion-ejection processes in S CrA N

GRAVITY Collaboration, H. Nowacki, K. Perraut +53

The dust- and gas-rich protoplanetary disks around young stellar systems play a key role in star and planet formation. While considerable progress has recently been made in probing…

VLTI/GRAVITY Interferometric Measurements of Innermost Dust Structure Sizes around AGNs

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +41

We present new VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust continuum for 14 type 1 AGNs. The angular sizes are resolved on…

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…

Upgrading the GRAVITY fringe tracker for GRAVITY+: Tracking the white light fringe in the non-observable Optical Path Length state-space

M. Nowak, S. Lacour, R. Abuter +35

Aims. As part of the ongoing GRAVITY+ upgrade of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer infrastructure, we aim to improve the performance of the GRAVITY Fringe-Tracker, and to ena…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIII. Tracing the time-variable asymmetric disk structure in the inner AU of the Herbig star HD98922

GRAVITY Collaboration, V. Ganci, L. Labadie +52

Temporal variability in the photometric and spectroscopic properties of protoplanetary disks is common in YSO. However, evidence pointing toward changes in their morphology over sh…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…

The size-luminosity relation of local active galactic nuclei from interferometric observations of the broad-line region

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +42

By using the GRAVITY instrument with the near-infrared (NIR) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), the structure of the broad (emission-)line region (BLR) in active galactic…
