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…
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…
CO and potential variability in Pictoris b with GRAVITY+
Antonia von Stauffenberg, Jonas Sauter, Paul Mollière +18
The CO/CO ratio was introduced as an indicator for where in the disk a planet has formed. Previously a lower value compared to the host star's was suggested to show t…
Differentiating Formation Models with New Dynamical Masses for the PDS 70 Protoplanets
David Trevascus, Sarah Blunt, Valentin Christiaens +22
Hot- and cold-start planet formation models predict differing luminosities for the young, bright planets that direct imaging surveys are most sensitive to. However, precise mass es…
The radiative-convective gap: fact or fiction?
Wolfgang Brandner, Artur Sorg, Siegfried Röser +1
Gaia characterizes the stellar populations of nearby open clusters with unprecedented precision. We investigate the Böhm-Vitense gap, which has been found as a prominent feature in…
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…
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…
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…
GCIRS 7, a pulsating M1 supergiant at the Galactic centre. Physical properties and age
T. Paumard, O. Pfuhl, F. Martins +10
The stellar population in the central parsec of the Galaxy is dominated by an old (several Gyr) population, but young, massive stars dominate the luminosity function. We have studi…
