Thermal imaging of dust hiding the black hole in the Active Galaxy NGC 1068
Violeta Gamez Rosas, Jacob W. Isbell, Walter Jaffe +49
In the widely accepted 'Unified Model' solution of the classification puzzle of Active Galactic Nuclei, the orientation of a dusty accretion torus around the central black hole dom…
The extended atmosphere and circumstellar environment of the cool evolved star VX Sagittarii as seen by MATISSE
A. Chiavassa, K. Kravchenko, M. Montargès +50
Context. VX Sgr is a cool, evolved, and luminous red star whose stellar parameters are difficult to determine, which affects its classification. Aims. We aim to spatially resolve t…
VLTI-MATISSE L- and N-band aperture-synthesis imaging of the unclassified B[e] star FS Canis Majoris
K. -H. Hofmann, A. Bensberg, D. Schertl +58
Context: FS Canis Majoris (FS CMa, HD 45677) is an unclassified B[e] star surrounded by an inclined dust disk. The evolutionary stage of FS CMa is still debated. Perpendicular to t…
The mid-infrared environment of the stellar merger remnant V838 Monocerotis
Muhammad Zain Mobeen, Tomasz Kamiński, Alexis Matter +2
In 2002, V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) erupted in a red novae event which has been interpreted to be a stellar merger. Soon after reaching peak luminosity, it began to cool, and its…
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…
Long Term Evolution of Surface Features on the Red Supergiant AZ Cyg
Ryan P. Norris, Fabien R. Baron, John D. Monnier +23
We present H-band interferometric observations of the red supergiant (RSG) AZ Cyg made with the Michigan Infra-Red Combiner (MIRC) at the six-telescope Center for High Angular Reso…
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…
Atmosphere of Betelgeuse before and during the Great Dimming event revealed by tomography
K. Kravchenko, A. Jorissen, S. Van Eck +7
Despite being the best studied red supergiant star in our Galaxy, the physics behind the photometric variability and mass loss of Betelgeuse is poorly understood. Moreover, recentl…
Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE
V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149
The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…
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…
