A Second Planet Transiting LTT 1445A and a Determination of the Masses of Both Worlds
J. G. Winters, R. Cloutier, A. A. Medina +79
LTT 1445 is a hierarchical triple M-dwarf star system located at a distance of 6.86 parsecs. The primary star LTT 1445A (0.257 M_Sun) is known to host the transiting planet LTT 144…
Candidate free-floating super-Jupiters in the young sigma Orionis open cluster
G. Bihain, R. Rebolo, M. R. Zapatero Osorio +13
Free-floating substellar candidates with estimated theoretical masses of as low as ~5 Jupiter masses have been found in the ~3 Myr old sigma Orionis open cluster. As the overlap wi…
Mass-radius relation of low and very low-mass stars revisited with the VLTI
B. -O. Demory, D. Segransan, T. Forveille +7
We measured the radii of 7 low and very low-mass stars using long baseline interferometry with the VLTI interferometer and its VINCI and AMBER near-infrared recombiners. We use the…
Optical configuration and analysis of the AMBER/VLTI instrument
S. Robbe-Dubois, S. Lagarde, R. G. Petrov +23
This paper describes the design goals and engineering efforts that led to the realization of AMBER (Astronomical Multi BEam combineR) and to the achievement of its present performa…
Initial mass function effects on the colour evolution of disk galaxies
P. Westera, M. Samland, S. J. Kautsch +2
In this work, we want to find out if the IMF can be determined from colour images, integrated colours, or mass-to-light ratios, especially at high redshift, where galaxies cannot b…
Near-Infrared interferometry of Eta Carinae with high spatial and spectral resolution using the VLTI and the AMBER instrument
G. Weigelt
We present the first NIR spectro-interferometry of the LBV Eta Carinae. The K band observations were performed with the AMBER instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferome…
