Over the past six years, the VLTI has undergone major upgrades, significantly improving its stability, sensitivity, and operational reliability. This has enabled the highest-angular-resolution images of stars orbiting our Galactic Center, high-precision interferometric astrometric measurements of exoplanet systems, and...

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...

We present PLANETES, a technology development project that aims at demonstrating GRAVITY-style dualfield interferometry into the J band. Building on PIONIER’s legacy in short-wavelength interferometry and GRAVITY’s breakthroughs in dual-field operation, this demonstrator integrates dual-field injection, integratedoptic...
