An Exo-Kuiper Belt and An Extended Halo around HD 191089 in Scattered Light

Bin Ren, Élodie Choquet, Marshall D. Perrin +70

We have obtained Hubble Space Telescope STIS and NICMOS, and Gemini/GPI scattered light images of the HD 191089 debris disk. We identify two spatial components: a ring resembling K…

Direct Imaging of the HD 35841 Debris Disk: A Polarized Dust Ring from Gemini Planet Imager and an Outer Halo from HST/STIS

Thomas M. Esposito, Gaspard Duchêne, Paul Kalas +55

We present new high resolution imaging of a light-scattering dust ring and halo around the young star HD 35841. Using spectroscopic and polarimetric data from the Gemini Planet Ima…

Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun

E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18

At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…

Orbits for the Impatient: A Bayesian Rejection Sampling Method for Quickly Fitting the Orbits of Long-Period Exoplanets

Sarah Blunt, Eric L. Nielsen, Robert J. De Rosa +11

We describe a Bayesian rejection sampling algorithm designed to efficiently compute posterior distributions of orbital elements for data covering short fractions of long-period exo…

Modeling the afterglow of the possible Fermi-GBM event associated with GW150914

Brian J. Morsony, Jared C. Workman, Dominic M. Ryan

We model the possible afterglow of the Fermi GBM event associated with LIGO detection GW150914, under the assumption that the gamma-ray are produced by a short GRB-like relativisti…

Astrometric Confirmation and Preliminary Orbital Parameters of the Young Exoplanet 51 Eridani b with the Gemini Planet Imager

Robert J. De Rosa, Eric L. Nielsen, Sarah C. Blunt +47

We present new Gemini Planet Imager observations of the young exoplanet 51 Eridani b which provide further evidence that the companion is physically associated with 51 Eridani. Com…
