Exo-zodi modelling for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer

Grant M. Kennedy, Mark C. Wyatt, Vanessa Bailey +18

Habitable zone dust levels are a key unknown that must be understood to ensure the success of future space missions to image Earth analogues around nearby stars. Current detection…

On the Morphology and Chemical Composition of the HR 4796A Debris Disk

Timothy J. Rodigas, Christopher C. Stark, Alycia Weinberger +17

[abridged] We present resolved images of the HR 4796A debris disk using the Magellan adaptive optics system paired with Clio-2 and VisAO. We detect the disk at 0.77 \microns, 0.91…

Volatile-Rich Circumstellar Gas in the Unusual 49 Ceti Debris Disk

Aki Roberge, Barry Y. Welsh, Inga Kamp +2

We present Hubble Space Telescope STIS far-UV spectra of the edge-on disk around 49 Ceti, one of the very few debris disks showing sub-mm CO emission. Many atomic absorption lines…

An Enigmatic Pointlike Feature within the HD 169142 Transitional Disk

Beth A. Biller, Jared Males, Timothy Rodigas +13

We report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a …

Polarized Light Imaging of the HD 142527 Transition Disk with the Gemini Planet Imager: Dust around the Close-in Companion

Timothy J. Rodigas, Katherine B. Follette, Alycia Weinberger +2

When giant planets form, they grow by accreting gas and dust. HD 142527 is a young star that offers a scaled-up view of this process. It has a broad, asymmetric ring of gas and dus…

Direct imaging of exoplanets in the habitable zone with adaptive optics

Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Olivier Guyon +16

One of the primary goals of exoplanet science is to find and characterize habitable planets, and direct imaging will play a key role in this effort. Though imaging a true Earth ana…
