GRAVITY faint: reducing noise sources in GRAVITY with a fast metrology attenuation system

F. Widmann, S. Gillessen, T. Ott +28

With the upgrade from GRAVITY to GRAVITY the instrument will evolve into an all-sky interferometer that can observe faint targets, such as high redshift AGN. Observing the fain…

The mass of Beta Pictoris c from Beta Pictoris b orbital motion

S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, L. Rodet +96

We aim to demonstrate that the presence and mass of an exoplanet can now be effectively derived from the astrometry of another exoplanet. We combined previous astrometry of Pic…

Constraining particle acceleration in Sgr A* with simultaneous GRAVITY, Spitzer, NuSTAR and Chandra observations

R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +81

We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the -, -, and -bands in the mid- an…

GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet

J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94

We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…
