MOLsphere and pulsations of the Galactic Center's red supergiant GCIRS 7 from VLTI/GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, G. Rodríguez-Coira, T. Paumard +55

GCIRS 7, the brightest star in the Galactic central parsec, formed Myr ago together with dozens of massive stars in a disk orbiting the central black-hole. It has been argu…

A measure of the size of the magnetospheric accretion region in TW Hydrae

R. Garcia Lopez, A. Natta, A. Caratti o Garatti +69

Stars form by accreting material from their surrounding disks. There is a consensus that matter flowing through the disk is channelled onto the stellar surface by the stellar magne…

The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey IV. The CO overtone emission in 51 Oph at sub-au scales

GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Koutoulaki, R. Garcia Lopez +69

51 Oph is a Herbig Ae/Be star that exhibits strong near-infrared CO ro-vibrational emission at 2.3 micron, most likely originating in the innermost regions of a circumstellar disc.…

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…

Twelve years of spectroscopic monitoring in the Galactic Center: the closest look at S-stars near the black hole

M. Habibi, S. Gillessen, F. Martins +11

We study the young S-stars within a distance of 0.04 pc from the supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy. Given how inhospitable the region is for star formation, their…

Circumstellar discs in Galactic centre clusters: Disc-bearing B-type stars in the Quintuplet and Arches clusters

Andrea Stolte, Benjamin Hussmann, Christoph Olczak +7

We investigate the circumstellar disc fraction as determined from L-band excess observations of the young, massive Arches and Quintuplet clusters residing in the central molecular…
