Deep Images of the Galactic Center with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +65

Stellar orbits at the Galactic Center provide a very clean probe of the gravitational potential of the supermassive black hole. They can be studied with unique precision, beyond th…

The mass of Beta Pictoris c from Beta Pictoris b orbital motion

S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, L. Rodet +96

We aim to demonstrate that the presence and mass of an exoplanet can now be effectively derived from the astrometry of another exoplanet. We combined previous astrometry of Pic…

Constraining particle acceleration in Sgr A* with simultaneous GRAVITY, Spitzer, NuSTAR and Chandra observations

R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +81

We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the -, -, and -bands in the mid- an…

GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet

J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94

We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…

MOLsphere and pulsations of the Galactic Center's red supergiant GCIRS 7 from VLTI/GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, G. Rodríguez-Coira, T. Paumard +55

GCIRS 7, the brightest star in the Galactic central parsec, formed Myr ago together with dozens of massive stars in a disk orbiting the central black-hole. It has been argu…

High-precision astrometric studies in direct imaging with SPHERE

A. -L. Maire, G. Chauvin, A. Vigan +15

Orbital monitoring of exoplanetary and stellar systems is fundamental for analysing their architecture, dynamical stability and evolution, and mechanisms of formation. Current high…

The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper I: Photometric limits to dust and rings

M. A. Kenworthy, S. N. Mellon, J. I. Bailey +33

Photometric monitoring of Beta Pictoris in 1981 showed anomalous fluctuations of up to 4% over several days, consistent with foreground material transiting the stellar disk. The su…

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…

Improved GRAVITY astrometric accuracy from modeling of optical aberrations

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +60

The GRAVITY instrument on the ESO VLTI pioneers the field of high-precision near-infrared interferometry by providing astrometry at the as level. Measurements at such…
