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…
GATOS: missing molecular gas in the outflow of NGC5728 revealed by JWST
R. Davies, T. Shimizu, M. Pereira-Santaella +49
The ionisation cones of NGC5728 have a deficit of molecular gas based on millimetre observations of CO(2-1) emission. Although photoionisation from the active nucleus may lead to s…
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…
Astrometric detection of a Neptune-mass candidate planet in the nearest M-dwarf binary system GJ65 with VLTI/GRAVITY
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +65
The detection of low-mass planets orbiting the nearest stars is a central stake of exoplanetary science, as they can be directly characterized much more easily than their distant c…
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…
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…
Broad-line region geometry from multiple emission lines in a single-epoch spectrum
L. Kuhn, J. Shangguan, R. Davies +17
The broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) traces gas close to the central supermassive black hole (BH). Recent reverberation mapping (RM) and interferometric spe…
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…
