A measure of the size of the magnetospheric accretion region in TW Hydrae

R. Garcia Lopez, A. Natta, A. Caratti o Garatti +69

Stars form by accreting material from their surrounding disks. There is a consensus that matter flowing through the disk is channelled onto the stellar surface by the stellar magne…

Constraining the Nature of the PDS 70 Protoplanets with VLTI/GRAVITY

J. J. Wang, A. Vigan, S. Lacour +101

We present K-band interferometric observations of the PDS 70 protoplanets along with their host star using VLTI/GRAVITY. We obtained K-band spectra and 100 as precision astromet…

The ExoGRAVITY project: using single mode interferometry to characterize exoplanets

S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, M. Nowak +89

Combining adaptive optics and interferometric observations results in a considerable contrast gain compared to single-telescope, extreme AO systems. Taking advantage of this, the E…

Analytical model-based analysis of long-exposure images fromground-based telescopes

Lucie Leboulleux, Raphaël Galicher, Eric Gendron +2

The search for Earth-like exoplanets requires high-contrast and high-angular resolution instruments, which designs can be very complex: they need an adaptive optics system to compe…

The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey IV. The CO overtone emission in 51 Oph at sub-au scales

GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Koutoulaki, R. Garcia Lopez +69

51 Oph is a Herbig Ae/Be star that exhibits strong near-infrared CO ro-vibrational emission at 2.3 micron, most likely originating in the innermost regions of a circumstellar disc.…

Direct confirmation of the radial-velocity planet Pic c

M. Nowak, S. Lacour, A. -M. Lagrange +90

Methods used to detect giant exoplanets can be broadly divided into two categories: indirect and direct. Indirect methods are more sensitive to planets with a small orbital period,…
