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…
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…
Searching for Nearby Supermassive Black Hole Binaries with GRAVITY
GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +82
We present a systematic interferometric search for close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in 20 nearby type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with VLTI/\grav. We inves…
Improving constraints on the Yukawa correction at the Galactic Center with multiple stellar orbits
GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, A. Foschi +78
We investigate the presence of a Yukawa-like correction () to Newtonian gravity at the Galactic Center, using a multi-star fitting code, including the newly…
GRAVITY+: reducing non-common-path aberrations for sub-10 μas astrometric accuracy
Quentin Fournier, Guillaume Bourdarot, Frank Eisenhauer +26
GRAVITY is a state-of-the-art instrument for near-infrared astrometric interferometry that routinely achieves astrometric accuracy of 30-100 microarcsecond in its phase-referenced…
Superdiffusion at the Galactic Centre
Pau Amaro Seoane, Kostas Tzanavaris, Reinhard Genzel +14
Tracking S-star cluster orbits around Sgr A* calibrates orbital transport models for space-borne gravitational wave detectors. Standard kinetic theories model this cluster via loca…
Stellar rotation of S301 as a macroscopic gyroscope to test general relativity
Pau Amaro Seoane, Xian Chen, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela +16
Stellar trajectories around the Galactic Center provide a testing environment for general relativity. The intrinsic rotation of these stars evolves under covariant transport in cur…
S301 and friends: Measuring the spin of Sgr A*
T. Piran, P. Amaro-Seoane, B. Aytac +15
The discovery of S301 (GRAVITY Collaboration et al., 2026) with pericenter distance rp= 280rg and eccentricity e=0.9825, opens the prospect of measuring the spin parameter of Sgr A…
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…
