Toward 3D orbits of wide sdO/B binaries I. Six composite systems spatially resolved with VLTI/GRAVITY
K. Deshmukh, S. Geier, H. Sana +7
The authors use VLTI/GRAVITY long‑baseline interferometry to spatially resolve six wide hot subdwarf (sdO/B) + main‑sequence binary systems, providing precise separations that will…
ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +15
The paper describes recent user‑focused upgrades to the VLTI, including new guiding and instrument modes, enhanced observation‑planning tools, and the availability of reduced GRAVI…
Southern massive stars at high angular resolution: WR 25 is a massive hierarchical triple system
K. Deshmukh, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6
The paper reports the first interferometric resolution of the massive star system WR 25, revealing it as a hierarchical triple with a close WN6ha+O5 binary and a more distant O7 te…
Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution (SMaSH+): Properties of hierarchical massive triples
E. Bordier, H. Sana, A. J. Frost +9
While massive stars are frequently found in triple architectures, the lack of observed parameter distributions has long remained a bottleneck for statistical models of their evolut…
An interferometric study of B star multiplicity
A. J. Frost, H. Sana, J-B Le Bouquin +7
Massive stars can have extreme effects on their environments from local to galactic scales. While O star multiplicity has been studied over a broad separation range (to the point w…
Interferometry of Massive Stars: Multiplicity, Magnetism, and Stellar Winds
H. Sana E. Bordier, K. Deshmukh, A. J. Frost +7
After decades of efforts, optical long-baseline interferometry has become a mainstream observational technique in terms of operation robustness and user friendliness. Interferometr…
