Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +58
The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to Sgr…
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,…
Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Jiménez-Rosales, J. Dexter +53
We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both th…
Retrieving scattering clouds and disequilibrium chemistry in the atmosphere of HR 8799e
P. Mollière, T. Stolker, S. Lacour +25
Clouds are ubiquitous in exoplanet atmospheres and represent a challenge for the model interpretation of their spectra. Complex cloud models are too numerically costly for generati…
K-Stacker, an algorithm to hack the orbital parameters of planets hidden in high-contrast imaging. First applications to VLT SPHERE multi-epoch observations
H. Le Coroller, M. Nowak, P. Delorme +40
Recent high-contrast imaging surveys, looking for planets in young, nearby systems showed evidence of a small number of giant planets at relatively large separation beyond typicall…
Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +53
The star S2 orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* is a precision probe of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole (candidate). Over the last 2.7 decades we…
