Multiplicity of Galactic Cepheids from long-baseline interferometry. IV. New detected companions from MIRC and PIONIER observations
A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, S. Borgniet +10
We aim at detecting and characterizing the main-sequence companions of a sample of known and suspected Galactic binary Cepheids. We used the multi-telescope interferometric combine…
Multiple Star Systems in the Orion Nebula
GRAVITY collaboration, Martina Karl, Oliver Pfuhl +133
This work presents an interferometric study of the massive-binary fraction in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the recently comissioned GRAVITY instrument. We observe a total of 16…
First Resolution of Microlensed Images
Subo Dong, A. Mérand, F. Delplancke-Ströbele +12
We employ VLTI GRAVITY to resolve, for the first time, the two images generated by a gravitational microlens. The measurements of the image separation θ_{-,+}=3.78 +/- 0.05 mas, an…
GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core
GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132
Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…
Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +95
The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre. Ne…
Fundamental properties of red-clump stars from long-baseline H-band interferometry
A. Gallenne, G. Pietrzyński, D. Graczyk +7
Observations of 48 red-clump stars were obtained in the H band with the PIONIER instrument installed at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. Limb-darkened angular diameters wer…
