The ExoGRAVITY survey: A K-band spectral library of giant exoplanet and brown dwarf companions
J. Kammerer, T. O. Winterhalder, S. Lacour +106
Direct observations of exoplanet and brown dwarf companions with near-infrared interferometry, first enabled by the dual-field mode of VLTI/GRAVITY, provide unique measurements of…
Exomoon search with VLTI/GRAVITY around the substellar companion HD 206893 B
Q. Kral, J. Wang, J. Kammerer +130
Direct astrometric detection of exomoons remains unexplored. This study presents the first application of high-precision astrometry to search for exomoons around substellar compani…
Constraints on the Orbit of the Young Substellar Companion GQ Lup B from High-Resolution Spectroscopy and VLTI/GRAVITY Astrometry
Vidya Venkatesan, S. Blunt, J. J. Wang +99
Understanding the orbits of giant planets is critical for testing planet formation models, particularly at wide separations greater than 10 au where traditional core accretion beco…
Direct imaging discovery of a young giant planet orbiting on Solar System scales
T. Stolker, M. Samland, L. B. F. M. Waters +102
HD 135344 AB is a young visual binary system that is best known for the protoplanetary disk around the secondary star. The circumstellar environment of the A0-type primary star, on…
Orbit and atmosphere of HIP 99770 b through the eyes of VLTI/GRAVITY
T. O. Winterhalder, J. Kammerer, S. Lacour +92
Context: Inferring the likely formation channel of giant exoplanets and brown dwarf companions from orbital and atmospheric observables remains a formidable challenge. Further and…
VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of AF Lep b: Preference for Circular Orbits, Cloudy Atmospheres, and a Moderately Enhanced Metallicity
William O. Balmer, Kyle Franson, Antoine Chomez +26
Direct imaging observations are biased towards wide-separation, massive companions that have degenerate formation histories. Although the majority of exoplanets are expected to for…
