The Small Numbers of Large Kuiper Belt Objects
Megan E. Schwamb, Michael E. Brown, Wesley C. Fraser
We explore the brightness distribution of the largest and brightest (m(R)<22) Kuiper belt objects (KBOs). We construct a luminosity function of the dynamically excited or hot Kuipe…
Direct Imaging Detection of Methane in the Atmosphere of GJ 504 b
M. Janson, T. Brandt, M. Kuzuhara +54
Most exoplanets detected by direct imaging so far have been characterized by relatively hot (> ~1000 K) and cloudy atmospheres. A surprising feature in some of their atmospheres ha…
Planetary Populations in the Mass-Period Diagram: A Statistical Treatment of Exoplanet Formation and the Role of Planet Traps
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz
The rapid growth in the number of known exoplanets has revealed the existence of several distinct planetary populations in the observed mass-period diagram. Two of the most surpris…
Planet Hunters. VI: An Independent Characterization of KOI-351 and Several Long Period Planet Candidates from the Kepler Archival Data
Joseph R. Schmitt, Ji Wang, Debra A. Fischer +29
We report the discovery of 14 new transiting planet candidates in the Kepler field from the Planet Hunters citizen science program. None of these candidates overlapped with Kepler…
Characterization of the gaseous companion κ Andromedae b: New Keck and LBTI high-contrast observations
M. Bonnefoy, T. Currie, G. -D. Marleau +64
We previously reported the direct detection of a low mass companion at a projected separation of 55+-2 AU around the B9 type star κ Andromedae. The properties of the system (mass r…
Disk Inhomogeneities and the Origins of Planetary System Architectures and Observational Properties
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz
Recent high-resolution observations show that protoplanetary disks have various kinds of structural properties or inhomogeneities. These are the consequence of a mixture of a numbe…
Direct Imaging of a Cold Jovian Exoplanet in Orbit around the Sun-like Star GJ 504
M. Kuzuhara, M. Tamura, T. Kudo +54
Several exoplanets have recently been imaged at wide separations of >10 AU from their parent stars. These span a limited range of ages (<50 Myr) and atmospheric properties, with te…
Do Giant Planets Survive Type II Migration?
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Shigeru Ida
Planetary migration is one of the most serious problems to systematically understand the observations of exoplanets. We clarify that the theoretically predicted type II migration i…
Low-Resolution Spectrum of the Zodiacal Light with AKARI InfraRed Camera
Kohji Tsumura, Toshio Matsumoto, Shuji Matsuura +3
We present the near- and mid-infrared zodiacal light spectrum obtained with the AKARI Infra-Red Camera (IRC). A catalog of 278 spectra of the diffuse sky covering a wide range of G…
Direct Imaging Search for Extrasolar Planets in the Pleiades
Kodai Yamamoto, Taro Matsuo, Hiroshi Shibai +53
We carried out an imaging survey for extrasolar planets around stars in the Pleiades (125 Myr, 135 pc) in the and bands using HiCIAO combined with the adaptive optics,…
Constraining the primordial orbits of the Terrestrial Planets
R. Brasser, K. Walsh, D. Nesvorny
Evidence in the Solar System suggests that the giant planets underwent an epoch of radial migration that was very rapid, with an e-folding timescale shorter than 1~Myr. It is proba…
The SEEDS Direct Imaging Survey for Planets and Scattered Dust Emission in Debris Disk Systems
Markus Janson, Timothy D. Brandt, Amaya Moro-Martin +49
Debris disks around young main-sequence stars often have gaps and cavities which for a long time have been interpreted as possibly being caused by planets. In recent years, several…
The Moving Group Targets of the SEEDS High-Contrast Imaging Survey of Exoplanets and Disks: Results and Observations from the First Three Years
Timothy D. Brandt, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Michael W. McElwain +52
We present results from the first three years of observations of moving group targets in the SEEDS high-contrast imaging survey of exoplanets and disks using the Subaru telescope.…
Two Super-Earths Orbiting the Solar Analogue HD41248 on the edge of a 7:5 Mean Motion Resonance
James S. Jenkins, Mikko Tuomi, Ramon Brasser +2
The number of multi-planet systems known to be orbiting their host stars with orbital periods that place them in mean motion resonances is growing. For the most part, these systems…
Oort Cloud and Scattered Disc formation during a late dynamical instability in the Solar System
R. Brasser, A. Morbidelli
One of the outstanding problems of the dynamical evolution of the outer solar system concerns the observed population ratio between the Oort Cloud (OC) and the Scattered Disc (SD):…
The TAOS Project: Results From Seven Years of Survey Data
Z. -W. Zhang, M. J. Lehner, J. -H. Wang +19
The Taiwanese-American Occultation Survey (TAOS) aims to detect serendipitous occultations of stars by small (about 1 km diameter) objects in the Kuiper Belt and beyond. Such event…
