Detection of Near-Infrared Water Ice at the Surface of the (pre)Transitional Disk of AB Aur: Informing Icy Grain Abundance, Composition, and Size

S. K. Betti, K. Follette, S. Jorquera +17

We present near-infrared Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer LMIRCam imagery of the disk around the Herbig Ae/Be star AB Aurigae. A comparison of surface brightness at Ks (2.1…

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…
