A first look at the protoplanet WISPIT 2 b with VLTI/GRAVITY+

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter +116

Confirmed observations of young protoplanets actively undergoing the process of formation have remained rare to date. In this Letter, we present new insights into the nature of the…

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…

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…

First Light for the GRAVITY+ Adaptive Optics: Extreme Adaptive Optics for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, F. Allouche +137

GRAVITY+ improves by orders of magnitude the sensitivity, sky-coverage and contrast of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). A central part of this project is the develop…

Spatially resolved broad line region in a quasar at z=4: Dynamical black hole mass and prominent outflow

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +92

We present the first near-infrared interferometric data of a QSO at z=4. The K-band observations were performed with GRAVITY+ on the VLTI using all four UTs, detecting a differenti…

GRAVITY+ adaptive optics (GPAO) tests in Europe

Florentin Millour, Guillaume Bourdarot, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin +54

We present in this proceeding the results of the test phase of the GRAVITY+ adaptive optics. This extreme AO will enable both high-dynamic range observations of faint companions (i…
