SPIRou: a nIR spectropolarimeter / high-precision velocimeter for the CFHT
JF Donati, D Kouach, M Lacombe +26
SPIRou is a near-infrared (nIR) spectropolarimeter / velocimeter for the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), that will focus on two forefront science topics, (i) the quest for h…
1 to 2.4 micron Near-IR spectrum of the Giant Planet Pictoris b obtained with the Gemini Planet Imager
Jeffrey Chilcote, Laurent Pueyo, Robert J. De Rosa +61
Using the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) located at Gemini South, we measured the near-infrared (1.0-2.4 micron) spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby, young star Picto…
Direct imaging of an asymmetric debris disk in the HD 106906 planetary system
Paul G. Kalas, Abhijith Rajan, Jason J. Wang +53
We present the first scattered light detections of the HD 106906 debris disk using Gemini/GPI in the infrared and HST/ACS in the optical. HD 106906 is a 13 Myr old F5V star in the…
Pictoris' inner disk in polarized light and new orbital parameters for Pictoris b
Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, James R. Graham, Laurent Pueyo +54
We present -band observations of Pic with the Gemini Planet Imager's (GPI's) polarimetry mode that reveal the debris disk between ~0.3" (~6 AU) and ~1.7" (~33 AU), while sim…
Gemini Planet Imager Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 planets c and d
Patrick Ingraham, Mark S. Marley, Didier Saumon +43
During the first-light run of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) we obtained K-band spectra of exoplanets HR 8799 c and d. Analysis of the spectra indicates that planet d may be warmer…
On-sky vibration environment for the Gemini Planet Imager and mitigation effort
Markus Hartung, Tom Hayward, Les Saddlemyer +20
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) entered on-sky commissioning and had its first-light at the Gemini South (GS) telescope in November 2013. GPI is an extreme adaptive optics (XAO), hi…
The First H-band Spectrum of the Massive Gas Giant Planet beta Pictoris b with the Gemini Planet Imager
Jeffrey Chilcote, Travis Barman, Michael P. Fitzgerald +43
Using the recently installed Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), we have taken the first H-band spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby young star beta Pictoris. GPI is designed…
On-instrument wavefront sensor design for the TMT infrared imaging spectrograph (IRIS) update
Jennifer Dunn, Vlad Reshetov, Jenny Atwood +6
The first light instrument on the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project will be the InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS). IRIS will be mounted on a bottom port of the facility AO in…
Polarimetry with the Gemini Planet Imager: Methods, Performance at First Light, and the Circumstellar Ring around HR 4796A
Marshall D. Perrin, Gaspard Duchene, Max Millar-Blanchaer +41
We present the first results from the polarimetry mode of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), which uses a new integral field polarimetry architecture to provide high contrast linear p…
Characterization of the Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector of the Gemini Planet Imager
Pascale Hibon, Sandrine Thomas, Jennifer Dunn +18
An Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) uses a double-prism arrangement to nullify the vertical chromatic dispersion introduced by the atmosphere at non-zero zenith distances. Th…
The Integral Field Spectrograph for the Gemini Planet Imager
James E. Larkin, Jeffrey K. Chilcote, Theodore Aliado +31
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a complex optical system designed to directly detect the self-emission of young planets within two arcseconds of their host stars. After suppressi…
