The Fornax3D project: Assembly histories of lenticular galaxies from a combined dynamical and population orbital analysis
Comparing the derived assembly histories with a comparable galaxy in a low-density environment -- NGC 3115 -- we find evidence for cluster-driven suppression of stellar accretion and merging.

Improved GRAVITY astrometric accuracy from modeling of optical aberrations
The Galactic Center observations with GRAVITY in 2017 and 2018, when both Sgr A* and the star S2 were targeted in a single fiber pointing, are affected by these aberrations at a level of less than 0. 5 mas.

The ExoGRAVITY project: using single mode interferometry to characterize exoplanets
Over time, repetitive observations of the exoplanets at medium resolution ($R=500$) will provide a catalogue of K-band spectra of unprecedented quality, for a number of exoplanets.

Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY
The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to SgrA* than S2, the orbit of which recently provided the measurement of the gravitational redshift and the Schwarzschild precession.

Fornax 3D project: automated detection of planetary nebulae in the centres of early-type galaxies and first results
Finally, we test the reliability and robustness of our novel detection and analysis method.

A geometric distance measurement to the Galactic Center black hole with 0.3% uncertainty
Together with our spectroscopy, in the best cases with an error of 7 km/s, this yields a geometric distance estimate: R0 = 8178 +- 13(stat.)

Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre.

The ATLAS3D Project -- XXIII. Angular momentum and nuclear surface brightness profiles
Specific angular momentum, lambda_R, correlates with the shape of nuclear light profiles, where cores are typically found in slow rotators and core-less galaxies are fast rotators.
