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…
