The GRAVITY instrument has been revolutionary for near-infrared interferometry by pushing sensitivity and precision to previously unknown limits. With the upgrade of GRAVITY and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) in GRAVITY+, these limits will be pushed even further, with vastly improved sky coverage, as well as faint-science and high-contrast capabilities. This upgrade includes the implementation of wide-field off-axis fringe-tracking, new adaptive optics systems on all Unit Telescopes, and laser guide stars in an upgraded facility. GRAVITY+ will open up the sky to the measurement of black hole masses across cosmic time in hundreds of active galactic nuclei, use the faint stars in the Galactic centre to probe General Relativity, and enable the characterisation of dozens of young exoplanets to study their formation, bearing the promise of another scientific revolution to come at the VLTI.

AGN Reverberation Mapping with LITMUS: Fundamental Limits on lag Recovery Rates
A Bayesian re-analysis of 906 OzDES AGN finds that previous reverberation lags, especially for MgII and CIV, are often false positives, with only 3-28% of MgII sources showing simple lags.

Comparing gravitational wave background predictions from cosmological simulations to pulsar timing observations
FABLE simulation predictions for the nanohertz gravitational wave background are statistically consistent with NANOGrav 15-year data at 1–2.5σ tension, with physically motivated population modifications further improv...

Reverberation Mapping Data of NGC 5548 Imply a Multicomponent Broad-Line Region
The single-peaked line profile and double-peaked delay profile of NGC 5548 challenge popular single-component broad-line region models and motivate multicomponent geometries.
