Intricate visibility effects from resolved emission of young stellar objects: the case of MWC158 observed with the VLTI

Jacques Kluska, Fabien Malbet, Jean-Philippe Berger +7

In the course of our VLTI young stellar object PIONIER imaging program, we have identified a strong visibility chromatic dependency that appeared in certain sources. This effect, r…

On the sensitivity of closure phases to faint companions in optical long baseline interferometry

Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Olivier Absil

We explore the sensitivity and completeness of long baseline interferometric observations for detecting unknown, faint companions around bright unresolved stars. We derive a linear…

The long period eccentric orbit of the particle accelerator HD167971 revealed by long baseline interferometry

M. De Becker, H. Sana, O. Absil +2

Using optical long baseline interferometry, we resolved for the first time the two wide components of HD167971, a candidate hierarchical triple system known to efficiently accelera…
