Catalogue of dual-field interferometric binary calibrators

Context . Dual-field interferometric observations with VLTI/GRAVITY sometimes require the use of a binary calibrator. This is a binary star whose individual components remain unresolved by the interferometer, with a separation between 400 and 2000 mas for observations with the Unit Telescopes (UTs), or 1200–3000 mas for the Auxiliary Telescopes …
