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…
Direct discovery of the inner exoplanet in the HD206893 system. Evidence for deuterium burning in a planetary-mass companion
S. Hinkley, S. Lacour, G. -D. Marleau +110
Long term precise radial velocity (RV) monitoring of the nearby star HD206893, as well as anomalies in the system proper motion, have suggested the presence of an additional, inner…
The mass of Beta Pictoris c from Beta Pictoris b orbital motion
S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, L. Rodet +96
We aim to demonstrate that the presence and mass of an exoplanet can now be effectively derived from the astrometry of another exoplanet. We combined previous astrometry of Pic…
GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet
J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94
We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…
Constraining the Nature of the PDS 70 Protoplanets with VLTI/GRAVITY
J. J. Wang, A. Vigan, S. Lacour +101
We present K-band interferometric observations of the PDS 70 protoplanets along with their host star using VLTI/GRAVITY. We obtained K-band spectra and 100 as precision astromet…
The ExoGRAVITY project: using single mode interferometry to characterize exoplanets
S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, M. Nowak +89
Combining adaptive optics and interferometric observations results in a considerable contrast gain compared to single-telescope, extreme AO systems. Taking advantage of this, the E…
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,…
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…
First direct detection of an exoplanet by optical interferometry; Astrometry and K-band spectroscopy of HR8799 e
S. Lacour, M. Nowak, J. Wang +85
To date, infrared interferometry at best achieved contrast ratios of a few times on bright targets. GRAVITY, with its dual-field mode, is now capable of high contrast obs…
