Caption: Figure 1.
Top: VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric data (colored) and best fit binary model (solid black) for Delta Capricorni. The dashed lines show the corresponding model for the resolved primary alone. Bottom left: differential visibility phases (colored) across the Brγ absorption line of the primary star showing the typical S-shaped signature of spatially resolved rotation. Bottom right: centroid position of each wavelength channel across the Brγ line relative to the continuum. The resulting projection of the primary’s rotational plane (Ωrot) is shown in magenta lines (3σ errors in dashed lines) compared to the line of nodes of the orbital plane (Ωorb).
