The wind and the magnetospheric accretion onto the T Tauri star S Coronae Australis at sub-au resolution

R. Garcia Lopez, K. Perraut, A. Caratti o Garatti +70

To investigate the inner regions of protoplanetary disks, we performed near-infrared interferometric observations of the classical TTauri binary system S CrA. We present the first…

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…

Accretion-ejection morphology of the microquasar SS433 resolved at sub-au scale

GRAVITY Collaboration, P. -O. Petrucci, I. Waisberg +67

We present the first optical observation at sub-milliarcsecond (mas) scale of the microquasar SS 433 obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the VLT interferometer. The 3.5 hour ex…

First Light for GRAVITY: Phase Referencing Optical Interferometry for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, M. Accardo +130

GRAVITY is a new instrument to coherently combine the light of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope Interferometer to form a telescope with an equivalent 130 m di…

Probing the Gas Density in our Galactic Center: Moving Mesh Simulations of G2

Elad Steinberg, Re'em Sari, Orly Gnat +11

The G2 object has recently passed its pericenter passage in our Galactic Center. While the emission shows clear signs of tidal interaction, the change in the observed lumino…

The Post-Pericenter Evolution of the Galactic Center Source G2

P. M. Plewa, S. Gillessen, O. Pfuhl +9

In early 2014 the fast-moving near-infrared source G2 reached its closest approach to the supermassive black hole Sgr A* in the Galactic Center. We report on the evolution of the i…

A powerful flare from Sgr A* confirms the synchrotron nature of the X-ray emission

G. Ponti, E. George, S. Scaringi +21

We present the first fully simultaneous fits to the NIR and X-ray spectral slope (and its evolution) during a very bright flare from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milk…
