Dual and lensed AGN at sub-arcsecond separations uncovered by ERIS
M. V. Zanchettin, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +62
We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the…
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…
GRAVITY+: reducing non-common-path aberrations for sub-10 μas astrometric accuracy
Quentin Fournier, Guillaume Bourdarot, Frank Eisenhauer +26
GRAVITY is a state-of-the-art instrument for near-infrared astrometric interferometry that routinely achieves astrometric accuracy of 30-100 microarcsecond in its phase-referenced…
Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94
We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…
High-contrast spectroscopy with the new VLT/ERIS instrument: Molecular maps and radial velocity of the gas giant AF Lep b
Jean Hayoz, Markus Johannes Bonse, Felix Dannert +66
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) is the new Adaptive-Optics (AO) assisted Infrared instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Its refurbished Integral Fiel…
Improving constraints on the extended mass distribution in the Galactic Center with stellar orbits
The GRAVITY Collaboration, Karim Abd El Dayem, Roberto Abuter +66
Studying the orbital motion of stars around Sagittarius A* in the Galactic Center provides a unique opportunity to probe the gravitational potential near the supermassive black hol…
GRAVITY+ Wavefront Sensors: High-Contrast, Laser Guide Star, Adaptive Optics systems for the VLTI
G. Bourdarot, F. Eisenhauer, S. Yazıcı +53
We present the Wavefront Sensor units of the Gravity Plus Adaptive Optics (GPAO) system, which will equip all 8m class telescopes of the VLTI and is an instrumental part of the GRA…
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…
The MICADO Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector: Optomechanical design, expected performance and calibration techniques
J. A. van den Born, R. Romp, A. W. Janssen +5
The differential refraction of light passing through the atmosphere can have a severe impact on image quality if no atmospheric dispersion corrector (ADC) is used. For the Extremel…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview, operation, simulation
Richard Davies, João Alves, Yann Clénet +98
MICADO will enable the ELT to perform diffraction limited near-infrared observations at first light. The instrument's capabilities focus on imaging (including astrometric and high…
ERIS: revitalising an adaptive optics instrument for the VLT
Richard Davies, Simone Esposito, Hans Martin Schmid +63
ERIS is an instrument that will both extend and enhance the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for the VLT. It will replace two instruments that ar…
