Debris Disk Results from the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey's Polarimetric Imaging Campaign

Thomas M. Esposito, Paul Kalas, Michael P. Fitzgerald +62

We report the results of a -year direct imaging survey of 104 stars to resolve and characterize circumstellar debris disks in scattered light as part of the Gemini Planet…

Cloud Atlas: Discovery of Rotational Spectral Modulations in a Low-mass, L-type Brown Dwarf Companion to a Star

Elena Manjavacas, Daniel Apai, Yifan Zhou +11

Observations of rotational modulations of brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets allow the characterization of condensate cloud properties. As of now rotational spectral modulations hav…

Direct imaging of an asymmetric debris disk in the HD 106906 planetary system

Paul G. Kalas, Abhijith Rajan, Jason J. Wang +53

We present the first scattered light detections of the HD 106906 debris disk using Gemini/GPI in the infrared and HST/ACS in the optical. HD 106906 is a 13 Myr old F5V star in the…

NIRPS tightens the mass estimate of GJ 3090 b and detects a planet near the stellar rotation period

Pierrot Lamontagne, Drew Weisserman, Charles Cadieux +148

We present an updated characterization of the planetary system orbiting the nearby M2 dwarf GJ 3090 (TOI-177; pc), based on new high-precision radial velocity (RV) observa…

NIRPS and TESS reveal a peculiar system around the M dwarf TOI-756: A transiting sub-Neptune and a cold eccentric giant

Léna Parc, François Bouchy, Neil J. Cook +148

The Near InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS) joined HARPS on the 3.6-m ESO telescope at La Silla Observatory in April 2023, dedicating part of its Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) p…

Blind search for activity-sensitive lines in the near-infrared using HARPS and NIRPS observations of Proxima and Gl 581

João Gomes da Silva, Elisa Delgado-Mena, Nuno C. Santos +145

Stellar activity variability is one of the main obstacles to the detection of Earth-like planets using the RV method. The aim of this work is to measure the effect of activity in t…
