Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Towards homogeneous FGK stars parameters and surface-brightness color relation in the context of PLATO space mission
Romina V. Ibañez Bustos, Denis Mourard, Nicolas Nardetto +20
The estimation of stellar angular diameters can be performed from the surface brightness - color relation (SBCR) and photometry. The SBCR have been considered by the PLATO space mi…
Discovery of a star sensitive to the spin of Sgr A*
K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +85
Residing in the center of the Milky Way, Sgr A* is the closest massive black hole (MBH). Its vicinity has allowed measuring individual stellar orbits around it. The stars act as te…
Using VLTI/GRAVITY+ to determine the identity of a third planet candidate in the PDS 70 system
David Trevascus, Wolfgang Brandner, Olga Balsalobre-Ruza +75
Detections of protoplanets are rare and protoplanetary disk features mischaracterized as planets are common. PDS 70 is one of only two stars known to host multiple confirmed protop…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XV. The star-disk interaction region of the T Tauri star DO Tau
GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Perraut, J. Bouvier +61
Protoplanetary disks around young Sun-like stars are the cradles of the vast majority of detected exoplanets. Probing these disks at multiple spatial scales is key to uncovering ho…
Magnetic field measurements in a sample of Class I and flat-spectrum protostars observed with SPIRou
L. Drouglazet, E. Alecian, A. Sousa +27
Magnetic fields play a crucial role throughout stellar evolution, regulating angular momentum, channelling accretion, and launching jets and outflows. While the magnetic properties…
