High contrast at short separation with VLTI/GRAVITY: Bringing Gaia companions to light

N. Pourré, T. O. Winterhalder, J. -B. Le Bouquin +173

Since 2019, GRAVITY has provided direct observations of giant planets and brown dwarfs at separations of down to 95 mas from the host star. Some of these observations have provided…

Key wavefront sensors features for laser-assisted tomographic adaptive optics systems on the Extremely Large Telescope

Thierry Fusco, Guido Agapito, Benoit Neichel +10

Laser guide star (LGS) wave-front sensing (LGSWFS) is a key element of tomographic adaptive optics system. However, when considering Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) scales, the LGS…

Multiple Star Systems in the Orion Nebula

GRAVITY collaboration, Martina Karl, Oliver Pfuhl +133

This work presents an interferometric study of the massive-binary fraction in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the recently comissioned GRAVITY instrument. We observe a total of 16…
