Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +58

The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to Sgr…

Determining sub-parsec supermassive black hole binary orbits with infrared interferometry

J. Dexter, D. Lutz, T. T. Shimizu +12

Radial velocity monitoring has revealed the presence of moving broad emission lines in some quasars, potentially indicating the presence of a sub-parsec binary system. Phase-refere…

Direct confirmation of the radial-velocity planet Pic c

M. Nowak, S. Lacour, A. -M. Lagrange +90

Methods used to detect giant exoplanets can be broadly divided into two categories: indirect and direct. Indirect methods are more sensitive to planets with a small orbital period,…

The spatially resolved broad line region of IRAS 09149-6206

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, W. Brandner +41

We present new near-infrared VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric spectra that spatially resolve the broad Br emission line in the nucleus of the active galaxy IRAS 09149-6206. We use t…

Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Jiménez-Rosales, J. Dexter +53

We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both th…

Structural evolution in massive galaxies at z~2

Ken-ichi Tadaki, Sirio Belli, Andreas Burkert +18

We present 0.2arcsec-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations at 870 m in a stellar mass-selected sample of 85 massive ($M_\mathrm{star}>10^{11}~M_\o…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey III. The dusty disk of RY Lup

GRAVITY Collaboration, Y. -I. Bouarour, K. Perraut +55

We use PIONIER data from the ESO archive and GRAVITY data that were obtained in June 2017 with the four 8m telescopes. We use a parametric disk model and the 3D radiative transfer…

The Kinematics and Dark Matter Fractions of TNG50 Galaxies at z=2 from an Observational Perspective

Hannah Übler, Shy Genel, Amiel Sternberg +13

We contrast the gas kinematics and dark matter contents of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) from state-of-the-art cosmological simulations within the CDM framework to observat…

Rotation Curves in z~1-2 Star-Forming Disks: Evidence for Cored Dark Matter Distributions

R. Genzel, S. H. Price, H. Übler +22

We report high quality, Halpha or CO rotation curves (RCs) to several Re for 41 large, massive, star-forming disk galaxies (SFGs), across the peak of cosmic galaxy evolution (z~0.6…

The Flux Distribution of Sgr A*

The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +54

The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* is a variable NIR source that exhibits bright flux excursions called flares. The low-flux density turnover of the flux distribution is…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey. II. First spatially resolved observations of the CO bandhead emission in a high-mass YSO

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Fedriani +50

The inner regions of the discs of high-mass young stellar objects (HMYSOs) are still poorly known due to the small angular scales and the high visual extinction involved. We deploy…
