The Gemini Deep Planet Survey -- GDPS

David Lafreniere, Rene Doyon, Christian Marois +10

We present the results of the Gemini Deep Planet Survey, a near-infrared adaptive optics search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around nearby young stars. The observations were…

Improving the speckle noise attenuation of simultaneous spectral differential imaging with a focal plane holographic diffuser

David Lafrenière, René Doyon, Daniel Nadeau Étienne Artigau +2

Direct exoplanet detection is limited by speckle noise in the point spread function (PSF) of the central star. This noise can be reduced by subtracting PSF images obtained simultan…

TRIDENT: an Infrared Differential Imaging Camera Optimized for the Detection of Methanated Substellar Companions

C. Marois, R. Doyon, D. Nadeau +5

A near-infrared camera in use at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) and at the 1.6-m telescope of the Observatoire du Mont-Megantic is described. The camera is based on a Ha…

Differential Imaging with a Multicolor Detector Assembly: A New ExoPlanet Finder Concept

C. Marois, R. Racine, R. Doyon +2

Simultaneous spectral differential imaging is a high contrast technique by which subtraction of simultaneous images reduces noise from atmospheric speckles and optical aberrations.…

Effects of Quasi-Static Aberrations in Faint Companion Searches

C. Marois, R. Doyon, D. Nadeau +2

We present the first results obtained at CFHT with the TRIDENT infrared camera, dedicated to the detection of faint companions close to bright nearby stars. The camera's main featu…

TRIDENT: an infrared camera optimized for the detection of methanated substellar companions around nearby stars

C. Marois, R. Doyon, D. Nadeau +3

A near-infrared (0.85-2.5 microns) camera in use at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and at the 1.6m telescope of the Observatoire du Mont-Megantic is described. The camera is ba…
