An impressionist view of V Hydrae. When MATISSE paints Asymmetric Giant Blobs
L. Planquart, C. Paladini, A. Jorissen +29
Our purpose is to study the effect of binary companions located within the first 10 stellar radii from the primary AGB star. In this work, we target the mass-losing carbon star V H…

GRAVITY Collaboration, V. Ganci, L. Labadie +52
Temporal variability in the photometric and spectroscopic properties of protoplanetary disks is common in YSO. However, evidence pointing toward changes in their morphology over sh…

We present infrared aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of newly formed dust from the colliding winds of the massive binary system Wolf-Rayet (WR) 137 with JWST usin…
The dusty circumstellar environment of Betelgeuse during the Great Dimming as seen by VLTI/MATISSE
E. Cannon, M. Montargès, A. de Koter +23
The 'Great Dimming' of the prototypical red supergiant Betelgeuse, which occurred between December 2019 and April 2020, gives us unprecedented insight into the processes occurring…
The K-band highest-resolution images of the Mira star R Car with GRAVITY-VLTI
A. Rosales-Guzman, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, C. Paladini +11
The mass-loss mechanisms in M-type AGB stars are not well understood, in particular, the formation of dust-driven winds from the innermost gaseous layers around these stars. One wa…
Nested Dust Shells around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR 140 observed with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Matthew J. Hankins, Yinuo Han +29
Massive colliding-wind binaries that host a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star present a potentially important source of dust and chemical enrichment in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, t…
The outer orbit of the high-mass stellar triple system Herschel 36 determined with the VLTI
J. Sanchez-Bermudez, C. A. Hummel, J. Díaz-López +8
Multiplicity is a ubiquitous characteristic of massive stars. Multiple systems offer us a unique observational constraint on the formation of high-mass systems. Herschel 36 A is a…
A dusty veil shading Betelgeuse during its Great Dimming
M. Montargès, E. Cannon, E. Lagadec +24
Red supergiants are the most common final evolutionary stage of stars that have initial masses between 8 and 35 times that of the Sun. During this stage, which lasts roughly 100,00…
The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey. VII. The inner dusty disks of T Tauri stars
The GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Perraut, L. Labadie +55
These protoplanetary disks in T Tauri stars play a central role in star and planet formation. We spatially resolve at sub-au scales the innermost regions of a sample of T Tauri's d…
The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object Survey. VI. Mapping the variable inner disk of HD 163296 at sub-au scales
J. Sanchez-Bermudez, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Garcia Lopez +53
Protoplanetary disks drive some of the formation process (e.g., accretion, gas dissipation, formation of structures, etc.) of stars and planets. Understanding such physical process…
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…
