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…
ngVLTI: Cost and Feasibility of a Four-Telescope VLTI Expansion for Milliarcsecond-Scale Imaging
Sylvestre Lacour, Johan Kosmalski, Michael Mueller +8
The paper evaluates the technical design and cost feasibility of adding four 8 m-class unit telescopes to the VLTI, presenting a compact segmented‑mirror concept and a rough €80 M…
Discovery of a star sensitive to the spin of Sgr A*
K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +85
The paper reports the discovery of a faint main‑sequence star (S301) on an 8.7‑year, highly eccentric orbit around the Milky Way’s central black hole, whose high velocity makes its…
Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution (SMaSH+): Properties of hierarchical massive triples
E. Bordier, H. Sana, A. J. Frost +9
While massive stars are frequently found in triple architectures, the lack of observed parameter distributions has long remained a bottleneck for statistical models of their evolut…
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…
