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…

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…

The gas streamer G1-2-3 in the Galactic Center

S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, J. Cuadra +61

The black hole in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, is prototypical for ultra-low-fed galactic nuclei. The discovery of a hand-full of gas clumps in the realm of a few Earth masses in i…
