Diversity among other worlds: characterization of exoplanets by direct detection

J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, A. Aylward +34

The physical characterization of exoplanets will require to take spectra at several orbital positions. For that purpose, a direct imaging capability is necessary. Direct imaging re…

NEAR-IR Spectroscopy of Young Stars in the Braid Nebula Star Formation Region in Cygnus Ob7

Colin Aspin, Tracy L. Beck, Tae-Soo Pyo +8

We present 1.4 to 2.5 um integral field spectroscopy of 16 stars in the Braid Nebula star formation region in Cygnus OB7. These data forms one aspect of a large-scale multi-wavelen…

Evidence for a companion to BM Gem, a silicate carbon star

Hideyuki Izumiura, Kunio Noguchi, Wako Aoki +12

Balmer and Paschen continuum emission as well as Balmer series lines of P Cygni-type profile from H_gamma through H_23 are revealed in the violet spectra of BM Gem, a carbon star a…
