We present a systematic interferometric search for close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in 20 nearby type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with VLTI/\grav. We investigate parsec-scale asymmetric emission by modeling the squared visibilities and closure phases with a single circular Gaussian component pl...

An efficient and accurate separation of unresolved point sources from extended objects, usually referred to as star–galaxy separation, is essential for the scientific exploitation of deep wide-field imaging surveys, particularly at faint magnitudes where morphological differences become subtle.
This paper presents a de...

Residing in the centre of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the closest massive black hole1 (MBH). Its vicinity has allowed measuring individual stellar orbits around it2, 3–4. The stars act as test particles and probe the gravitational potential around the 4.3 × 106M⊙ MBH. These observations have determined th...
