How do Most Planets Form? -- Constraints on Disk Instability from Direct Imaging
Markus Janson, Mariangela Bonavita, Hubert Klahr +1
Core accretion and disk instability have traditionally been regarded as the two competing possible paths of planet formation. In recent years, evidence have accumulated in favor of…
M-band Imaging of the HR 8799 Planetary System Using an Innovative LOCI-based Background Subtraction Technique
Raphael Galicher, Christian Marois, Bruce Macintosh +2
Multi-wavelength observations/spectroscopy of exoplanetary atmospheres are the basis of the emerging exciting field of comparative exoplanetology. The HR 8799 planetary system is a…
High-contrast Imaging Search for Planets and Brown Dwarfs around the Most Massive Stars in the Solar Neighborhood
Markus Janson, Mariangela Bonavita, Hubert Klahr +3
There has been a long-standing discussion in the literature as to whether core accretion or disk instability is the dominant mode of planet formation. Over the last decade, several…
A Super-Earth Transiting a Naked-Eye Star
Joshua N. Winn, Jaymie M. Matthews, Rebekah I. Dawson +11
We have detected transits of the innermost planet "e" orbiting 55 Cnc (V=6.0), based on two weeks of nearly continuous photometric monitoring with the MOST space telescope. The tra…
Broadband Transmission Spectroscopy of the super-Earth GJ 1214b suggests a Low Mean Molecular Weight Atmosphere
Bryce Croll, Loic Albert, Ray Jayawardhana +4
We used WIRCam on CFHT to observe four transits of the super-Earth GJ 1214b in the near-infrared. For each transit we observed in two bands nearly-simultaneously by rapidly switchi…
The Magnetic and Metallic Degenerate G77-50
J. Farihi, P. Dufour, R. Napiwotzki +1
An accumulation of multi-epoch, high-resolution, optical spectra reveal that the nearby star G77-50 is a very cool DAZ white dwarf externally polluted by Mg, Fe, Al, Ca, and possib…
