VLTI/GRAVITY Observations and Characterization of the Brown Dwarf Companion HD 72946 B

Abstract Tension remains between the observed and modeled properties of substellar objects, but objects in binary orbits, with known dynamical masses, can provide a way forward. HD 72946 B is a recently imaged brown dwarf companion to a nearby, solar-type star. We achieve ∼100 μ as relative astrometry of HD …
