Cold and eccentric: a high-spectral resolution view of 51 Eri b with VLT/HiRISE

A. Denis, A. Vigan, G. Chauvin +35

Discovered almost 10 years ago, the giant planet 51 Eridani b is one of the least separated (0.2 arcsec) and faintest (J = 19.74 mag) directly imaged exoplanets known to date. Its…

Constraints on the Orbit of the Young Substellar Companion GQ Lup B from High-Resolution Spectroscopy and VLTI/GRAVITY Astrometry

Vidya Venkatesan, S. Blunt, J. J. Wang +99

Understanding the orbits of giant planets is critical for testing planet formation models, particularly at wide separations greater than 10 au where traditional core accretion beco…

Multi-modal atmospheric characterization of Pictoris b: Adding high-resolution continuum spectra from GRAVITY

M. Ravet, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +24

We present the first VLTI/GRAVITY observations at R of Pic b. These four high S/N (20) K-band spectra conserve both the pseudo-continuum and molecular absorp…

The planetary-mass-limit VLT/SINFONI library: Spectral extraction and atmospheric characterization via forward modeling

P. Palma-Bifani, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +9

We aim to deepen our understanding of the M-L transition on planetary-mass companions and isolated brown dwarfs, and search for evidence of possible differences between these two p…

Characterization of AF Lep b at high spectral resolution with VLT/HiRISE

A. Denis, A. Vigan, J. Costes +41

Since the recent discovery of the directly imaged super-Jovian planet AF Lep b, several studies have been conducted to characterize its atmosphere and constrain its orbital paramet…

Astrometric and photometric characterization of Tel B combining two decades of observations

P. H. Nogueira, C. Lazzoni, A. Zurlo +11

Tel is an 18 Myr system with a 2.09 M A-type star and an M7-M8 brown dwarf companion, Tel B, separated by 4.2'' (208 au). High-contrast imaging campaigns over 20…

Atmospheric properties of AF Lep b with forward modeling

P. Palma-Bifani, G. Chauvin, D. Borja +11

Aims. We aim to expand the atmospheric exploration of AF Lep b by modeling all available observations obtained with SPHERE at VLT (between 0.95-1.65, at 2.105, and 2.253 m, and…

First VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of HIP 65426 b: Evidence for a Low or Moderate Orbital Eccentricity

S. Blunt, W. O. Balmer, J. J. Wang +95

Giant exoplanets have been directly imaged over orders of magnitude of orbital separations, prompting theoretical and observational investigations of their formation pathways. In t…

Peering into the Young Planetary System AB Pic. Atmosphere, Orbit, Obliquity & Second Planetary Candidate

P. Palma-Bifani, G. Chauvin, M. Bonnefoy +24

We aim to revisit the system AB Pic which has a known companion at the exoplanet/ brown-dwarf boundary. We based this study on a rich set of observations to investigate the compani…

In-depth direct imaging and spectroscopic characterization of the young Solar System analog HD 95086

C. Desgrange, G. Chauvin, V. Christiaens +48

Context. HD 95086 is a young nearby Solar System analog hosting a giant exoplanet orbiting at 57 au from the star between an inner and outer debris belt. The existence of additiona…

New binaries from the SHINE survey

M. Bonavita, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +67

We present the multiple stellar systems observed within the SpHere INfrared survey for Exoplanet (SHINE). SHINE searched for substellar companions to young stars using high contras…

Investigating three Sirius-like systems with SPHERE

R. Gratton, V. D'Orazi, T. A. Pacheco +61

Sirius-like systems are wide binaries composed of a white dwarf (WD) and a companion of a spectral type earlier than M0. The WD progenitor evolves in isolation, but its wind during…

HD 117214 debris disk: scattered-light images and constraints on the presence of planets

N. Engler, C. Lazzoni, R. Gratton +34

We performed observations of the Sco-Cen F star HD 117214 aiming at a search for planetary companions and the characterization of the debris disk structure. HD 117214 was observed…

VLT/SPHERE exploration of the young multiplanetary system PDS70

D. Mesa, M. Keppler, F. Cantalloube +51

Context. PDS 70 is a young (5.4 Myr), nearby (~113 pc) star hosting a known transition disk with a large gap. Recent observations with SPHERE and NACO in the near-infrared (NIR) al…
