GRAVITY: getting to the event horizon of Sgr A*
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, W. Brandner +45
We present the second-generation VLTI instrument GRAVITY, which currently is in the preliminary design phase. GRAVITY is specifically designed to observe highly relativistic motion…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
Carbonates in space - The challenge of low temperature data
Th. Posch, A. Baier, H. Mutschke +1
Carbonates have repeatedly been discussed as possible carriers of stardust emission bands. However, the band assignments proposed so far were mainly based on room temperature powde…
FU Orionis - The MIDI/VLTI Perspective
Sascha P. Quanz, Thomas Henning, Jeroen Bouwman +2
We present the first mid-infrared interferometric measurements of FU Orionis. We clearly resolve structures that are best explained with an optically thick accretion disk. A simple…
First AU-scale observations of V1647 Ori with VLTI/MIDI
P. Abraham, L. Mosoni, Th. Henning +4
The young eruptive star V1647 Ori was observed with MIDI, the mid-infrared interferometric instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), on March 2, 2005. We presen…
An Extremely Young Massive Stellar Object near IRAS 07029-1215
Jan Forbrich, Katharina Schreyer, Bettina Posselt +2
In the course of a comprehensive mm/submm survey of massive star-forming regions, the vicinities of a sample of 47 luminous IRAS sources were closely investigated with SCUBA and IR…
