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…

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…

Exomoon search with VLTI/GRAVITY around the substellar companion HD 206893 B

Q. Kral, J. Wang, J. Kammerer +130

Direct astrometric detection of exomoons remains unexplored. This study presents the first application of high-precision astrometry to search for exomoons around substellar compani…

Spatially resolved broad line region in a quasar at z=4: Dynamical black hole mass and prominent outflow

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +92

We present the first near-infrared interferometric data of a QSO at z=4. The K-band observations were performed with GRAVITY+ on the VLTI using all four UTs, detecting a differenti…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey XIII. Tracing the time-variable asymmetric disk structure in the inner AU of the Herbig star HD98922

GRAVITY Collaboration, V. Ganci, L. Labadie +52

Temporal variability in the photometric and spectroscopic properties of protoplanetary disks is common in YSO. However, evidence pointing toward changes in their morphology over sh…

Mid-infrared evidence for iron-rich dust in the multi-ringed inner disk of HD 144432

J. Varga, L. B. F. M. Waters, M. Hogerheijde +40

Context. Rocky planets form by the concentration of solid particles in the inner few au regions of planet-forming disks. Their chemical composition reflects the materials in the di…

Towards virtual access of adaptive optics telemetry data

Tiago Gomes, Carlos Correia, Lisa Bardou +8

Large amounts of Adaptive-Optics (AO) control loop data and telemetry are currently inaccessible to end-users. Broadening access to those data has the potential to change the AO la…
