Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek

Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94

We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…

Using VLTI/GRAVITY+ to determine the identity of a third planet candidate in the PDS 70 system

David Trevascus, Wolfgang Brandner, Olga Balsalobre-Ruza +75

Detections of protoplanets are rare and protoplanetary disk features mischaracterized as planets are common. PDS 70 is one of only two stars known to host multiple confirmed protop…

The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XV. The star-disk interaction region of the T Tauri star DO Tau

GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Perraut, J. Bouvier +61

Protoplanetary disks around young Sun-like stars are the cradles of the vast majority of detected exoplanets. Probing these disks at multiple spatial scales is key to uncovering ho…

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…

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…

The gas streamer G1-2-3 in the Galactic Center

S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, J. Cuadra +61

The black hole in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, is prototypical for ultra-low-fed galactic nuclei. The discovery of a hand-full of gas clumps in the realm of a few Earth masses in i…
