Clarifying the Status of HD 100546 as Observed by the Gemini Planet Imager
Thayne Currie, Sean Brittain, Carol Grady +2
HD 100546 is a young, early-type star and key laboratory for studying gas giant planet formation. GPI data taken in 2015 and reported by Currie et al. (2015) recover the previously…
A Spectroscopic Survey of Subarcsecond Binaries in the Taurus-Auriga Dark Cloud with the Hubble Space Telescope
Patrick Hartigan, Scott Kenyon
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of 20 close T Tauri binaries in the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud where the separations between primaries and their secondaries are less…
The MIRI Excess around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey II: A Probable Planet detected via IR Excess around WD 0644+025
Sabrina Poulsen, John Debes, Ashley Messier +14
The MIRI Excess Around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey is a cycle 2 JWST program designed to image nearby white dwarfs with MIRI at 10 and 15 microns. This survey targeted 56 white dwarf…
Discovery of Gas Accretion Onto Stars in 13 Myr old h and chi Persei
Thayne Currie, Scott Kenyon, Zoltan Balog +2
We report the discovery of accretion disks associated with ~ 13 Myr-old intermediate/low-mass stars in h and chi Persei. Optical spectroscopy of ~ 5000 stars in these clusters and…
A Deep Keck/NIRC2 Search for Thermal Emission from Planetary Companions Orbiting Fomalhaut
Thayne Currie, Ryan Cloutier, John Debes +2
We present deep Keck/NIRC2 1.6 and 3.8 imaging of Fomalhaut to constrain the near-infrared (IR) brightness of Fomalhaut b, recently confirmed as a likely planet (Currie et al…
The Rise and Fall of Debris Disks: MIPS Observations of h and chi Persei and the Evolution of Mid-IR Emission from Planet Formation
Thayne Currie, Scott Kenyon, Zoltan Balog +3
We describe Spitzer/MIPS observations of the double cluster, h and Persei, covering a 0.6 square-degree area surrounding the cores of both clusters. The data are combin…
