Searching for Planets in Holey Debris Disks with the Apodizing Phase Plate
Tiffany Meshkat, Vanessa P. Bailey, Kate Y. L. Su +4
We present our first results from a high-contrast imaging search for planetary mass companions around stars with gapped debris disks, as inferred from the stars' bright infrared ex…
Erosion and the limits to planetesimal growth
Sebastiaan Krijt, Chris W. Ormel, Carsten Dominik +1
The coagulation of microscopic dust into planetesimals is the first step towards planet formation. The size and shape of the growing aggregates determine the efficiency of this ear…
Detection of the secondary eclipse of WASP-10b in the Ks-band
Patricia Cruz, David Barrado, Jorge Lillo-Box +5
WASP-10b, a non-inflated hot Jupiter, was discovered around a K-dwarf in a near circular orbit (). Since its discovery in 2009, different published parameters for this…
Spiral arms in scattered light images of protoplanetary discs: Are they the signposts of planets?
Attila Juhasz, Myriam Benisty, Adriana Pohl +3
One of the striking discoveries of protoplanetary disc research in recent years are the spiral arms seen in several transitional discs in polarised scattered light. An interesting…
A search for TiO in the optical high-resolution transmission spectrum of HD 209458b: Hindrance due to inaccuracies in the line database
H. J. Hoeijmakers, R. J. de Kok, I. A. G. Snellen +3
The spectral signature of an exoplanet can be separated from the spectrum of its host star using high-resolution spectroscopy. During such observations, the radial component of the…
Gas and dust structures in protoplanetary disks hosting multiple planets
P. Pinilla, M. de Juan Ovelar, S. Ataiee +4
Transition disks have dust-depleted inner regions and may represent an intermediate step of an on-going disk dispersal process, where planet formation is probably in progress. Rece…
Peculiar Near-Nucleus Outgassing of Comet 17P/Holmes During Its 2007 Outburst
Chunhua Qi, Michiel R. Hogerheijde, David Jewitt +2
We present high angular resolution Submillimeter Array observations ofthe outbursting Jupiter family comet 17P/Holmes on 2007 October 26-29, achieving a spatial resolution of 2.5",…
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…
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…
HCN ice in Titan's high-altitude southern polar cloud
Remco J. de Kok, Nicholas A. Teanby, Luca Maltagliati +2
Titan's middle atmosphere is currently experiencing a rapid change of season after northern spring arrived in 2009. A large cloud was observed for the first time above Titan's sout…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in…
Astrometric follow-up observations of directly imaged sub-stellar companions to young stars and brown dwarfs
C. Ginski, T. O. B. Schmidt, M. Mugrauer +4
The formation of massive planetary or brown dwarf companions at large projected separations from their host star is not yet well understood. In order to put constraints on formatio…
Kepler423b: a half-Jupiter mass planet transiting a very old solar-like star
D. Gandolfi, H. Parviainen, H. J. Deeg +16
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of the Kepler object of interest KOI-183.01 (Kepler-423b), a half-Jupiter mass planet transiting an old solar-like star every 2.7 days. Our…
The Debris Disk of Solar Analogue Ceti: Herschel Observations and Dynamical Simulations of the Proposed Multiplanet System
S. M. Lawler, J. Di Francesco, G. M. Kennedy +16
Ceti is a nearby, mature G-type star very similar to our Sun, with a massive Kuiper Belt analogue (Greaves et al. 2004) and possible multiplanet system (Tuomi et al. 2013) that…
An Enigmatic Pointlike Feature within the HD 169142 Transitional Disk
Beth A. Biller, Jared Males, Timothy Rodigas +13
We report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a …
New constraints on the dust surrounding HR 4796A
Julien Milli, Dimitri Mawet, Christophe Pinte +7
HR 4796A is surrounded by a well-structured and very bright circumstellar disc shaped like an annulus with many interesting features: very sharp inner and outer edges, brightness a…
Reprocessing of Ices in Turbulent Protoplanetary Disks: Carbon and Nitrogen Chemistry
Kenji Furuya, Yuri Aikawa
We study the influence of the turbulent transport on ice chemistry in protoplanetary disks, focusing on carbon and nitrogen bearing molecules. Chemical rate equations are solved wi…
Complex organic molecules along the accretion flow in isolated and externally irradiated protoplanetary disks
Catherine Walsh, Eric Herbst, Hideko Nomura +2
(Abridged) The birth environment of the Sun will have influenced the conditions in the pre-solar nebula, including the attainable chemical complexity, important for prebiotic chemi…
A dearth of small particles in debris disks: An energy-constrained smallest fragment size
Sebastiaan Krijt, Mihkel Kama
A prescription for the fragment size distribution resulting from dust grain collisions is essential when modelling a range of astrophysical systems, such as debris disks and planet…
