The mass of Beta Pictoris c from Beta Pictoris b orbital motion

S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, L. Rodet +96

We aim to demonstrate that the presence and mass of an exoplanet can now be effectively derived from the astrometry of another exoplanet. We combined previous astrometry of Pic…

DPNNet-2.0 Part I: Finding hidden planets from simulated images of protoplanetary disk gaps

Sayantan Auddy, Ramit Dey, Min-Kai Lin +1

The observed sub-structures, like annular gaps, in dust emissions from protoplanetary disk, are often interpreted as signatures of embedded planets. Fitting a model of planetary ga…
