VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of AF Lep b: Preference for Circular Orbits, Cloudy Atmospheres, and a Moderately Enhanced Metallicity
William O. Balmer, Kyle Franson, Antoine Chomez +26
Direct imaging observations are biased towards wide-separation, massive companions that have degenerate formation histories. Although the majority of exoplanets are expected to for…
The cool brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is a close binary
Jerry W. Xuan, A. Mérand, W. Thompson +76
Owing to their similarities with giant exoplanets, brown dwarf companions of stars provide insights into the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution. From their orb…
GRAVITY for MATISSE -- Improving the MATISSE performance with the GRAVITY fringe tracker
J. Woillez, R. Petrov, R. Abuter +23
Context: MATISSE, the mid-infrared spectro-imaging instrument of VLTI, was designed to deliver its advertised performance when paired with an external second generation fringe trac…
High contrast at short separation with VLTI/GRAVITY: Bringing Gaia companions to light
N. Pourré, T. O. Winterhalder, J. -B. Le Bouquin +173
Since 2019, GRAVITY has provided direct observations of giant planets and brown dwarfs at separations of down to 95 mas from the host star. Some of these observations have provided…
Exoplanets in reflected starlight with dual-field interferometry: A case for shorter wavelengths and a fifth Unit Telescope at VLTI/Paranal
S. Lacour, Ó. Carrión-González, M. Nowak
The direct observation of cold and temperate planets within 1 to 10 AU would be extremely valuable for uncovering their atmospheric compositions but remains a formidable challenge…
SPHERE RefPlanets: Search for epsilon Eridani b and warm dust
C. Tschudi, H. M. Schmid, M. Nowak +35
We carried out very deep VLT/SPHERE imaging polarimetry of the nearby system Eps Eri based on 38.5 hours of integration time with a 600 - 900 nm broadband filter to search for pola…
