Direct Imaging and Astrometric Detection of a Gas Giant Planet Orbiting an Accelerating Star
Thayne Currie, G. Mirek Brandt, Timothy D. Brandt +31
Direct imaging of gas giant exoplanets provides key information on planetary atmospheres and the architectures of planetary systems. However, few planets have been detected in blin…
Exploring the Ability of HST WFC3 G141 to Uncover Trends in Populations of Exoplanet Atmospheres Through a Homogeneous Transmission Survey of 70 Gaseous Planets
Billy Edwards, Quentin Changeat, Angelos Tsiaras +14
We present the analysis of the atmospheres of 70 gaseous extrasolar planets via transit spectroscopy with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). For over half of these, we statistica…
Probing Photon Statistics in Adaptive Optics Images with SCExAO/MEC
Sarah Steiger, Timothy D. Brandt, Olivier Guyon +11
We present an experimental study of photon statistics for high-contrast imaging with the Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) Exoplanet Camera (MEC) located behind the Suba…
Controlling petals using fringes: discontinuous wavefront sensing through sparse aperture interferometry at Subaru/SCExAO
Vincent Deo, Sébastien Vievard, Nick Cvetojevic +9
Low wind and petaling effects, caused by the discontinuous apertures of telescopes, are poorly corrected -- if at all -- by commonly used workhorse wavefront sensors (WFSs). Wavefr…
A Visible-light Lyot Coronagraph for SCExAO/VAMPIRES
Miles Lucas, Michael Bottom, Olivier Guyon +7
We describe the design and initial results from a visible-light Lyot coronagraph for SCExAO/VAMPIRES. The coronagraph is comprised of four hard-edged, partially transmissive focal…
High Contrast and High Angular Imaging at Subaru Telescope
Olivier Guyon, Kyohoon Ahn, Masayuki Akiyama +10
Adaptive Optics projects at Subaru Telescope span a wide field of capabilities ranging from ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) providing partial correction over a 20 arcmin FOV to…
High Contrast Imaging at the Photon Noise Limit with WFS-based PSF Calibration
Olivier Guyon, Barnaby Norris, Marc-Antoine Martinod +10
Speckle Noise is the dominant source of error in high contrast imaging with adaptive optics system. We discuss the potential for wavefront sensing telemetry to calibrate speckle no…
SCExAO and Keck Direct Imaging Discovery of a Low-Mass Companion Around the Accelerating F5 Star HIP 5319
Noah Swimmer, Thayne Currie, Sarah Steiger +26
We present the direct imaging discovery of a low-mass companion to the nearby accelerating F star, HIP 5319, using SCExAO coupled with the CHARIS, VAMPIRES, and MEC instruments in…
Direct Imaging Discovery and Dynamical Mass of a Substellar Companion Orbiting an Accelerating Hyades Sun-like Star with SCExAO/CHARIS
Masayuki Kuzuhara, Thayne Currie, Takuya Takarada +33
We present the direct-imaging discovery of a substellar companion in orbit around a Sun-like star member of the Hyades open cluster. So far, no other substellar companions have bee…
Images of Embedded Jovian Planet Formation At A Wide Separation Around AB Aurigae
Thayne Currie, Kellen Lawson, Glenn Schneider +30
Direct images of protoplanets embedded in disks around infant stars provide the key to understanding the formation of gas giant planets like Jupiter. Using the Subaru Telescope and…
