Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets

Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +32

The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI)'s Nulling-Optimized Mid-Infrared Camera (NOMIC) is among the most capable thermal-infrared imaging systems available for high-co…

Direct images and spectroscopy of a giant protoplanet driving spiral arms in MWC 758

Kevin Wagner, Jordan Stone, Andrew Skemer +23

Understanding the driving forces behind spiral arms in protoplanetary disks remains a challenge due to the faintness of young giant planets. MWC 758 hosts such a protoplanetary dis…

Dynamical detection of a companion driving a spiral arm in a protoplanetary disk

Chen Xie, Bin B. Ren, Ruobing Dong +6

Radio and near-infrared observations have observed dozens of protoplanetary disks that host spiral arm features. Numerical simulations have shown that companions may excite spiral…

A Large Double-ring Disk around the Taurus M Dwarf J04124068+2438157

Feng Long, Bin B. Ren, Nicole L. Wallack +23

Planet formation imprints signatures on the physical structures of disks. In this paper, we present high-resolution (50 mas, 8 au) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Arra…

The Direct Mid-Infrared Detectability of Habitable-zone Exoplanets Around Nearby Stars

Zach Werber, Kevin Wagner, Daniel Apai

Giant planets within the habitable zones of the closest several stars can currently be imaged with ground-based telescopes. Within the next decade, the Extremely Large Telescopes (…

A 16 Hour Transit of Kepler-167 e Observed by the Ground-based Unistellar Telescope Network

Amaury Perrocheau, Thomas M. Esposito, Paul A. Dalba +35

More than 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed and among them almost 4,000 were discovered by the transit method. However, few transiting exoplanets have an orbital period greater…
