Deep imaging of three accelerating stars using SHARK-NIR and LMIRCam at LBT

D. Mesa, R. Gratton, V. D'Orazi +29

The combination of detection techniques enhances our ability to identify companions orbiting nearby stars. We employed high-contrast imaging to constrain mass and separation of pos…

The HOSTS survey: evidence for an extended dust disk and constraints on the presence of giant planets in the Habitable Zone of Leo

D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, G. M. Kennedy +38

The young (50-400 Myr) A3V star Leo is a primary target to study the formation history and evolution of extrasolar planetary systems as one of the few stars with known hot ($\s…

Implementing multi-wavelength fringe tracking for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer's phase sensor, PHASECam

Erin R. Maier, Phil Hinz, Denis Defrère +5

PHASECam is the fringe tracker for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). It is a near-infrared camera which is used to measure both tip/tilt and fringe phase variati…

The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey

Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43

The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…

The HOSTS Survey for Exozodiacal Dust: Preliminary results and future prospects

S. Ertel, G. M. Kennedy, D. Defrère +40

[abridged] The presence of large amounts of dust in the habitable zones of nearby stars is a significant obstacle for future exo-Earth imaging missions. We executed an N band nulli…
