Experimental test of a 40 cm-long R=100 000 spectrometer for exoplanet characterisation

Guillaume Bourdarot, Etienne Le Coarer, David Mouillet +12

High-resolution spectroscopy is a key element for present and future astronomical instrumentation. In particular, coupled to high contrast imagers and coronagraphs, high spectral r…

Detection of orbital motions near the last stable circular orbit of the massive black hole SgrA*

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +57

We report the detection of continuous positional and polarization changes of the compact source SgrA* in high states ('flares') of its variable near- infrared emission with the nea…

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…

MYSTIC: Michigan Young STar Imager at CHARA

John D. Monnier, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Narsireddy Anugu +6

We present the design for MYSTIC, the Michigan Young STar Imager at CHARA. MYSTIC will be a K-band, cryogenic, 6-beam combiner for the Georgia State University CHARA telescope arra…

Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +95

The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre. Ne…
