The cool brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is a close binary
Jerry W. Xuan, A. Mérand, W. Thompson +76
Owing to their similarities with giant exoplanets, brown dwarf companions of stars provide insights into the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution. From their orb…
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…
First Resolution of Microlensed Images of a Binary-Lens Event
Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, A. Mérand +72
We resolve the multiple images of the binary-lens microlensing event ASASSN-22av using the GRAVITY instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). The light curves sh…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIV : Investigating the magnetospheric accretion-ejection processes in S CrA N
GRAVITY Collaboration, H. Nowacki, K. Perraut +53
The dust- and gas-rich protoplanetary disks around young stellar systems play a key role in star and planet formation. While considerable progress has recently been made in probing…
VLTI/GRAVITY Interferometric Measurements of Innermost Dust Structure Sizes around AGNs
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +41
We present new VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust continuum for 14 type 1 AGNs. The angular sizes are resolved on…
GATOS: missing molecular gas in the outflow of NGC5728 revealed by JWST
R. Davies, T. Shimizu, M. Pereira-Santaella +49
The ionisation cones of NGC5728 have a deficit of molecular gas based on millimetre observations of CO(2-1) emission. Although photoionisation from the active nucleus may lead to s…
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…
Upgrading the GRAVITY fringe tracker for GRAVITY+: Tracking the white light fringe in the non-observable Optical Path Length state-space
M. Nowak, S. Lacour, R. Abuter +35
Aims. As part of the ongoing GRAVITY+ upgrade of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer infrastructure, we aim to improve the performance of the GRAVITY Fringe-Tracker, and to ena…
