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…

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…

First-light LBT nulling interferometric observations: warm exozodiacal dust resolved within a few AU of eta Corvi

D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, A. J. Skemer +37

We report on the first nulling interferometric observations with the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), resolving the N' band (9.81 - 12.41 um) emission around the ne…
