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…
