An Imaging Survey for Extrasolar Planets around 45 Close, Young Stars with SDI at the VLT and MMT
Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Elena Masciadri +11
We present the results of a survey of 45 young (<250 Myr), close (<50 pc) stars with the Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI) implemented at the VLT and the MMT for the direct de…
Very high contrast IFU spectroscopy of AB Doradus C: 9 mag contrast at 0.2" without a coronagraph using spectral deconvolution
Niranjan Thatte, Roberto Abuter, Matthias Tecza +3
We present an extension of the spectral deconvolution method (Sparks & Ford 2002) to achieve very high contrast at small inner working radii. We apply the method to the specific ca…
NACO-SDI direct imaging search for the exoplanet Eps Eri b
Markus Janson, Wolfgang Brandner, Thomas Henning +13
The active K2V star Eri hosts the most nearby known extrasolar planet. With an angular separation of about 1" on average, and an age of a few to several hundred Myrs, Eri b…
Discovery of a 66 mas Ultracool Binary with Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Nick Siegler, Laird M. Close, Adam J. Burgasser +4
We present the discovery of 2MASS J21321145+1341584AB as a closely separated (0.066") very low-mass field dwarf binary resolved in the near-infrared by the Keck II Telescope using…
VLT-detection of two edge-on Circumstellar Disks in the rho Oph dark cloud
W. Brandner, S. Sheppard, H. Zinnecker +7
Observations of the rho Ophiuchi star forming region with VLT ANTU and ISAAC under 0.35" seeing conditions reveal two bipolar reflection nebulosities intersected by central dust la…
