The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey
Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…
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…
The HOSTS survey - Exozodiacal dust measurements for 30 stars
S. Ertel, D. Defrère, P. Hinz +40
The HOSTS (Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems) survey searches for dust near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main sequence stars. We use nulling…
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…
Co-phasing the Large Binocular Telescope: status and performance of LBTI/PHASECam
D. Defrère, P. Hinz, E. Downey +19
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is a NASA-funded nulling and imaging instrument designed to coherently combine the two 8.4-m primary mirrors of the LBT for high-sensit…
Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer Adaptive Optics: On-sky performance and lessons learned
Vanessa P. Bailey, Philip M. Hinz, Alfio T. Puglisi +6
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is a high contrast imager and interferometer that sits at the combined bent Gregorian focus of the LBT's dual 8.4~m apertures. The inte…
Does the Debris Disk around HD 32297 Contain Cometary Grains?
Timothy J. Rodigas, John H. Debes, Philip M. Hinz +13
We present an adaptive optics imaging detection of the HD 32297 debris disk at L' (3.8 \microns) obtained with the LBTI/LMIRcam infrared instrument at the LBT. The disk is detected…
Adaptive Optics Imaging of VY Canis Majoris at 2 - 5 micron with LBT/LMIRCam
Dinesh P. Shenoy, Terry J. Jones, Roberta M. Humphreys +11
We present adaptive optics images of the extreme red supergiant VY Canis Majoris in the Ks, L' and M bands (2.15 to 4.8 micron) made with LMIRCam on the Large Binocular Telescope (…
A Thermal Infrared Imaging Study of Very Low-Mass, Wide Separation Brown Dwarf Companions to Upper Scorpius Stars: Constraining Circumstellar Environments
Vanessa Bailey, Philip M. Hinz, Thayne Currie +18
We present a 3-5um LBT/MMT adaptive optics imaging study of three Upper Scorpius stars with brown dwarf (BD) companions with very low-masses/mass ratios (M_BD < 25M_Jup; M_BD / M_s…
First Light LBT AO Images of HR 8799 bcde at 1.65 and 3.3 Microns: New Discrepancies between Young Planets and Old Brown Dwarfs
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip M. Hinz, Simone Esposito +45
As the only directly imaged multiple planet system, HR 8799 provides a unique opportunity to study the physical properties of several planets in parallel. In this paper, we image a…
The Gray Needle: Large Grains in the HD 15115 Debris Disk from LBT/PISCES/Ks and LBTI/LMIRcam/L' Adaptive Optics Imaging
Timothy J. Rodigas, Philip M. Hinz, Jarron Leisenring +52
We present diffraction-limited \ks band and \lprime adaptive optics images of the edge-on debris disk around the nearby F2 star HD 15115, obtained with a single 8.4 m primary mirro…
On-sky wide field adaptive optics correction using multiple laser guide stars at the MMT
Christoph Baranec, Michael Hart, N. Mark Milton +6
We describe results from the first astronomical adaptive optics system to use multiple laser guide stars, located at the 6.5-m MMT telescope in Arizona. Its initial operational mod…
