VLTI/AMBER spectro-interferometric imaging of VX Sagittarii's inhomogenous outer atmosphere

VLTI/AMBER spectro-interferometric imaging of VX Sagittarii's inhomogenous outer atmosphere

Aims. We aim to explore the photosphere of the very cool late-type star VX Sgr and in particular the existence and characterization of molecular layers above the continuum forming photosphere. Methods. We obtained interferometric observations with the VLTI/AMBER interferometer using the fringe tracker FINITO in the spectral domain 1.45-2.50 micron …
