Near-infrared Thermal Emission from WASP-12b: detections of the secondary eclipse in Ks, H & J

Bryce Croll, David Lafreniere, Loic Albert +3

We present Ks, H & J-band photometry of the very highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Wide-field Infrared Camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. Our photometry b…

The Directly Imaged Planet around the Young Solar Analog 1RXS J160929.1-210524: Confirmation of Common Proper Motion, Temperature and Mass

David Lafrenière, Ray Jayawardhana, Marten H. van Kerkwijk

Giant planets are usually thought to form within a few tens of AU of their host stars, and hence it came as a surprise when we found what appeared to be a planetary mass (~0.008 Ms…

Spatially resolved spectroscopy of the exoplanet HR 8799 c

M. Janson, C. Bergfors, M. Goto +2

HR 8799 is a multi-planet system detected in direct imaging, with three companions known so far. Here, we present spatially resolved VLT/NACO 3.88--4.10 micron spectroscopy of the…
