The PDR fronts in M17-SW localized with FIFI-LS onboard SOFIA
Randolf Klein, Alexander Reedy, Christian Fischer +5
To understand star formation rates, studying feedback mechanisms that regulate star formation is necessary. The radiation emitted by nascent massive stars play a significant role i…
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…
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…
First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130
GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…
Disk-mediated accretion burst in a high-mass young stellar object
A. Caratti o Garatti, B. Stecklum, R. Garcia Lopez +13
Solar-mass stars form via circumstellar disk accretion (disk-mediated accretion). Recent findings indicate that this process is likely episodic in the form of accretion bursts, pos…
The SOFIA Observatory at the Start of Routine Science Operations : Mission capabilities and performance
Pasquale Temi, Pamela M. Marcum, Erick Young +65
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has recently concluded a set of engineering flights for Observatory performance evaluation. These in-flight opportuniti…
