A first look at the protoplanet WISPIT 2 b with VLTI/GRAVITY+

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter +116

Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the…

GRAVITY+: reducing non-common-path aberrations for sub-10 μas astrometric accuracy

Quentin Fournier, Guillaume Bourdarot, Frank Eisenhauer +26

GRAVITY is a state-of-the-art instrument for near-infrared astrometric interferometry that routinely achieves astrometric accuracy of 30-100 microarcsecond in its phase-referenced…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…

Polarization analysis of the VLTI and GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, F. Widmann, X. Haubois N. Schuhler +59

The goal of this work is to characterize the polarization effects of the VLTI and GRAVITY. This is needed to calibrate polarimetric observations with GRAVITY for instrumental effec…
