THE<i>H</i>-BAND EMITTING REGION OF THE LUMINOUS BLUE VARIABLE P CYGNI: SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND INTERFEROMETRY OF THE WIND

We present the first high angular resolution observations in the near-infrared H band (1.6 μm) of the luminous blue variable star P Cygni. We obtained six-telescope interferometric observations with the CHARA Array and the MIRC beam combiner. These show that the spatial flux distribution is larger than expected for the …
