Recovery of the Candidate Protoplanet HD 100546 b with Gemini/NICI and Detection of Additional (Planet-Induced?) Disk Structure at Small Separations
Thayne Currie, Takayuki Muto, Tomoyuki Kudo +23
We report the first independent, second-epoch (re-)detection of a directly-imaged protoplanet candidate. Using high-contrast imaging of HD 100546 taken with the Near-Inf…
Advances in exoplanet science from Kepler
Jack J. Lissauer, Rebekah I. Dawson, Scott Tremaine
Numerous telescopes and techniques have been used to find and study extrasolar planets, but none has been more successful than NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. Kepler has discovered…
Triple Microlens OGLE-2008-BLG-092L: Binary Stellar System with a Circumprimary Uranus-type Planet
Radosław Poleski, Jan Skowron, Andrzej Udalski +11
We present the gravitational microlensing discovery of a 4 M_Uranus planet that orbits a 0.7 M_Sun star at ~18 AU. This is the first known analog of Uranus. Similar planets, i.e.,…
Some inconvenient truths about biosignatures involving two chemical species on Earth-like exoplanets
Hanno Rein, Yuka Fujii, David S. Spiegel
The detection of strong thermochemical disequilibrium in the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet is thought to be a potential biosignature. In this article we present a new kind of…
Prospects for Detecting Oxygen, Water, and Chlorophyll on an Exo-Earth
Timothy D. Brandt, David S. Spiegel
The goal of finding and characterizing nearby Earth-like planets is driving many NASA high-contrast flagship mission concepts, the latest of which is known as the Advanced Technolo…
