Peering into the formation history of beta Pictoris b with VLTI/GRAVITY long baseline interferometry

GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Nowak, S. Lacour +65

Our objective is to estimate the C/O ratio in the atmosphere of beta Pictoris b and obtain an estimate of the dynamical mass of the planet, as well as to refine its orbital paramet…

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…

The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey -- I. Probing the disks of Herbig Ae/Be stars in terrestrial orbits

K. Perraut, L. Labadie, B. Lazareff +69

The formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks are important stages in the lifetime of stars. The processes of disk evolution and planet formation are intrinsically linked…

The resolved size and structure of hot dust in the immediate vicinity of AGN

GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Dexter, J. Shangguan +42

We use VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometry measurements of 8 bright, Type 1 AGN to study the size and structure of hot dust heated by the central engine. We partially resolve…

Scalar field effects on the orbit of S2 star

António Amorim, Michael Bauböck, Myriam Benisty +35

Precise measurements of the S-stars orbiting SgrA* have set strong constraints on the nature of the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. The presence of a black hole in t…

NAOMI: the adaptive optics system of the Auxiliary Telescopes of the VLTI

Woillez J., Abad J. A., Abuter R. +80

The tip-tilt stabilisation system of the 1.8 m Auxiliary Telescopes of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer was never dimensioned for robust fringe tracking, except when atmosph…
