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…
Planet(esimal)s Around Stars with TESS (PAST) III: A Search for Triplet He I in the Atmospheres of Two 200 Myr-old Planets
Eric Gaidos, Teruyuki Hirano, Rena A. Lee +13
We report a search for excess absorption in the 1083.2 nm line of ortho (triplet) helium during transits of TOI-1807b and TOI-2076b, 1.25 and 2.5R planets on 0.55- an…
AO3000 at Subaru: Combining for the first time a NIR WFS using First Light's C-RED ONE and ALPAO's 64x64 DM
Julien Lozi, Kyohoon Ahn, Christophe Clergeon +7
After 16 years of on-sky operation, Subaru Telescope's facility adaptive optics AO188 is getting several major upgrades to become the extreme-AO AO3000 (3000 actuators in the pupil…
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…
Two temperate super-Earths transiting a nearby late-type M dwarf
L. Delrez, C. A. Murray, F. J. Pozuelos +82
In the age of JWST, temperate terrestrial exoplanets transiting nearby late-type M dwarfs provide unique opportunities for characterising their atmospheres, as well as searching fo…
Atmospheric Monitoring and Precise Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planets with SCExAO/CHARIS
Jason J. Wang, Peter Gao, Jeffrey Chilcote +10
The atmospheres of gas giant planets are thought to be inhomogeneous due to weather and patchy clouds. We present two full nights of coronagraphic observations of the HR 8799 plane…
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…
A Super-Earth Orbiting Near the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone around the M4.5-dwarf Ross 508
Hiroki Harakawa, Takuya Takarada, Yui Kasagi +46
We report the near-infrared radial-velocity (RV) discovery of a super-Earth planet on a 10.77-day orbit around the M4.5 dwarf Ross 508 (). Using precision RVs f…
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…
TOI-1696: a nearby M4 dwarf with a planet in the Neptunian desert
Mayuko Mori, John H. Livingston, Jerome de Leon +59
We present the discovery and validation of a temperate sub-Neptune around the nearby mid-M dwarf TIC 470381900 (TOI-1696), with a radius of and an orbita…
