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…

A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models

J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179

Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Two temperate Earth-mass planet candidates around Teegarden's Star

M. Zechmeister, S. Dreizler, I. Ribas +182

Context. Teegarden's Star is the brightest and one of the nearest ultra-cool dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. For its late spectral type (M7.0V), the star shows relatively little…

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…
