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…

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…

VLTI/GRAVITY Provides Evidence the Young, Substellar Companion HD 136164 Ab formed like a "Failed Star"

William O. Balmer, L. Pueyo, S. Lacour +93

Young, low-mass Brown Dwarfs orbiting early-type stars, with low mass ratios (), appear intrinsically rare and present a formation dilemma: could a handful of these…

First VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of HIP 65426 b: Evidence for a Low or Moderate Orbital Eccentricity

S. Blunt, W. O. Balmer, J. J. Wang +95

Giant exoplanets have been directly imaged over orders of magnitude of orbital separations, prompting theoretical and observational investigations of their formation pathways. In t…

GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet

J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94

We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…

Discovery and spectroscopy of the young Jovian planet 51 Eri b with the Gemini Planet Imager

B. Macintosh, J. R. Graham, T. Barman +85

Directly detecting thermal emission from young extrasolar planets allows measurement of their atmospheric composition and luminosity, which is influenced by their formation mechani…

Photometric Investigation of the Total-Eclipsing Contact Binary V12 in the Intermediate-age Open Cluster NGC 7789

S. -B. Qian, A. Essam, J. -J. Wang +3

NGC 7789 is an intermediate-age open cluster with an age that is similar to the mean age of contact binary stars. V12 is a bright UMa-type binary star with an orbital period of 0.3…
