Seasonal Evolution of Saturn's Polar Temperatures and Composition
Leigh N. Fletcher, P. G. J. Irwin, J. A. Sinclair +7
The seasonal evolution of Saturn's polar atmospheric temperatures and hydrocarbon composition is derived from a decade of Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) 7-16 m t…
NEOWISE observations of comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) as it approaches Mars
R. Stevenson, J. M. Bauer, R. M. Cutri +2
The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission observed comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) three times at 3.4 μm and 4.6 μm as the comet approached Mars i…
Binary Candidates in the Jovian Trojan and Hilda Populations from NEOWISE Lightcurves
S. Sonnett, A. Mainzer, T. Grav +2
Determining the binary fraction for a population of asteroids, particularly as a function of separation between the two components, helps describe the dynamical environment at the…
Exo-zodi modelling for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
Grant M. Kennedy, Mark C. Wyatt, Vanessa Bailey +18
Habitable zone dust levels are a key unknown that must be understood to ensure the success of future space missions to image Earth analogues around nearby stars. Current detection…
SEEDS Adaptive Optics Imaging of the Asymmetric Transition Disk Oph IRS 48 in Scattered Light
Katherine B. Follette, Carol A. Grady, Jeremy R. Swearingen +60
We present the first resolved near infrared imagery of the transition disk Oph IRS 48 (WLY 2-48), which was recently observed with ALMA to have a strongly asymmetric sub-millimeter…
Recovery of the Candidate Protoplanet HD 100546 b with Gemini/NICI and Detection of Additional (Planet-Induced?) Disk Structure at Small Separations
Thayne Currie, Takayuki Muto, Tomoyuki Kudo +23
We report the first independent, second-epoch (re-)detection of a directly-imaged protoplanet candidate. Using high-contrast imaging of HD 100546 taken with the Near-Inf…
Rossby wave instability does not require sharp resistivity gradients
W. Lyra, N. Turner, C. McNally
Rossby wave instability (RWI) at dead zone boundaries may play an important role in planet formation. Viscous hydrodynamics results suggest RWI is excited only when the viscosity c…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on LBTI/LMIRCam
D. Defrère, O. Absil, P. Hinz +20
We present the first observations obtained with the L'-band AGPM vortex coronagraph recently installed on LBTI/LMIRCam. The AGPM (Annular Groove Phase Mask) is a vector vortex coro…
Characterization of the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab and the M-dwarf companion HAT-P-32B
Ming Zhao, Joseph G. O'Rourke, Jason T. Wright +13
We report secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab, taken with Hale/WIRC in H and Ks bands and with Spitzer/IRAC at 3.6 and 4.5 micron. We carried out adaptive op…
The ground-based H, K, and L-band absolute emission spectra of HD 209458b
Robert T. Zellem, Caitlin A. Griffith, Pieter Deroo +2
Here we explore the capabilities of NASA's 3.0 meter Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) and SpeX spectrometer and the 5.08 meter Hale telescope with the TripleSpec spectrometer wit…
A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars. IV. An unbiased sample of 92 southern stars observed in H-band with VLTI/PIONIER
Steve Ertel, Olivier Absil, Denis Defrere +8
Context. Detecting and characterizing circumstellar dust is a way to study the architecture and evolution of planetary systems. Cold dust in debris disks only traces the outer regi…
Gemini Planet Imager Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 planets c and d
Patrick Ingraham, Mark S. Marley, Didier Saumon +43
During the first-light run of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) we obtained K-band spectra of exoplanets HR 8799 c and d. Analysis of the spectra indicates that planet d may be warmer…
KIC 9632895 - The 10th Kepler Transiting Circumbinary Planet
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Donald R. Short +19
We present the discovery of KIC 9632895b, a 6.2 Earth-radius planet in a low-eccentricity, 240.5-day orbit about an eclipsing binary. The binary itself consists of a 0.93 and 0.194…
Strong Erosion-Driven Nongravitational Effects in Orbital Motions of the Kreutz Sungrazing System's Dwarf Comets
Zdenek Sekanina, Rainer Kracht
We investigate the relationships among the angular orbital elements --- the longitude of the ascending node, Omega, the inclination, i, and the argument of perihelion, omega --- of…
The Effects of Refraction on Transit Transmission Spectroscopy: Application to Earth-like Exoplanets
Amit Misra, Victoria Meadows, Dave Crisp
We quantify the effects of refraction in transit transmission spectroscopy on spectral absorption features and on temporal variations that could be used to obtain altitude-dependen…
Evidence of Titan's Climate History from Evaporite Distribution
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Jason W. Barnes, Christophe Sotin +8
Water-ice-poor, 5-m-bright material on Saturn's moon Titan has previously been geomorphologically identified as evaporitic. Here we present a global distribution of the occurren…
A Study of Dust and Gas at Mars from Comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring)
Michael S. P. Kelley, Tony L. Farnham, Dennis Bodewits +2
Although the nucleus of comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) will safely pass Mars in October 2014, the dust in the coma and tail will more closely approach the planet. Using a dynamica…
More chips off of Asteroid (4) Vesta: characterization of eight Vestoids and their HED meteorite analogs
Paul S. Hardersen, Vishnu Reddy, Rachel Roberts +1
This work reports high quality NIR spectra, and their respective interpretations, for eight Vp type asteroids, as defined by Carvano et al. (2010), that were observed at the NASA I…
Non-gravitational Perturbations and Virtual Impactors: the case of asteroid 2009 FD
F. Spoto, A. Milani, D. Farnocchia +5
Asteroid 2009 FD could impact Earth between 2185 and 2196. The long term propagation to the possible impacts and the intervening planetary encounters make 2009 FD one of the most c…
