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…

Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE

V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149

The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…

The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?

J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133

Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…

An image of the dust sublimation region in the nucleus of NGC 1068

GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Pfuhl, R. Davies +40

We present near-infrared interferometric data on the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Inter…

Multiple Star Systems in the Orion Nebula

GRAVITY collaboration, Martina Karl, Oliver Pfuhl +133

This work presents an interferometric study of the massive-binary fraction in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the recently comissioned GRAVITY instrument. We observe a total of 16…

GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core

GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132

Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…
