The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Characterization of the Coldest Directly Imaged Exoplanet, GJ 504 b, and Evidence for Super-Stellar Metallicity

Andrew J. Skemer, Caroline V. Morley, Neil T. Zimmerman +39

As gas giant planets and brown dwarfs radiate away the residual heat from their formation, they cool through a spectral type transition from L to T, which encompasses the dissipati…

Magellan Adaptive Optics first-light observations of the exoplanet beta Pic b. II. 3-5 micron direct imaging with MagAO+Clio, and the empirical bolometric luminosity of a self-luminous giant planet

Katie M. Morzinski, Jared R. Males, Andy J. Skemer +14

Young giant exoplanets are a unique laboratory for understanding cool, low-gravity atmospheres. A quintessential example is the massive extrasolar planet Pic b, which is 9 AU f…

The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Orbit and Component Masses of the Intermediate Age, Late-Type Binary NO UMa

Joshua E. Schlieder, Andrew J. Skemer, Anne-Lise Maire +21

We present high-resolution Large Binocular Telescope LBTI/LMIRcam images of the spectroscopic and astrometric binary NO UMa obtained as part of the LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hu…

Hunting for planets in the HL Tau disk

L. Testi, A. Skemer, Th. Henning +10

Recent ALMA images of HL Tau show gaps in the dusty disk that may be caused by planetary bodies. Given the young age of this system, if confirmed, this finding would imply very sho…

Exoplanet science with the LBTI: instrument status and plans

D. Defrère, P. Hinz, A. Skemer +21

The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is a strategic instrument of the LBT designed for high-sensitivity, high-contrast, and high-resolution infrared (1.5-13 m) im…

The absolute age of the globular cluster M15 using near-infrared adaptive optics images from PISCES/LBT

M. Monelli, V. Testa, G. Bono +26

We present deep near-infrared (NIR) J, Ks photometry of the old, metal-poor Galactic globular cluster M\,15 obtained with images collected with the LUCI1 and PISCES cameras availab…
