SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: NCPA compensation and dark-hole loop with a pyramid wavefront sensor
Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher +21
The SAXO+ upgrade of the VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics system introduces a second-stage near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to improve high-contrast imaging, making accurate calibr…
Destructuring the disk of AB Aurigae: Dynamics and accretion
Anthony Boccaletti, Emmanuel Di Folco, Anne Dutrey +23
In this paper, we present near-IR polarized images of the AB Aur disk at three epochs spanning 3.85 years with SPHERE/IRDIS, as well as Halpha images obtained with SPHERE/ZIMPOL at…
JWST/MIRI coronagraphic search for planets in systems with gapped exoKuiper belts and proper motion anomalies
R. Bendahan-West, S. Marino, A. L. Carter +17
Over the past decade, ALMA has uncovered a range of substructures within exoKuiper belts, pointing to a population of undetected planets. With JWST's sensitivity, we now have the o…
Characterization of debris disks observed with SPHERE
N. Engler, J. Milli, N. Pawellek +33
This study aims to characterize debris disks observed with SPHERE across multiple programs, with the goal of identifying systematic trends in disk morphology, dust mass, and grain…
The mid-infrared spectrum of Pictoris b. First VLTI/MATISSE interferometric observations of an exoplanet
M. Houllé, F. Millour, P. Berio +46
Few spectra of directly-imaged exoplanets have been obtained in the mid-infrared (> 3 m). This region is particularly rich in molecular spectral signatures, whose measurements…
JWST/NIRCam observations of HD~92945 debris disk: An asymmetric disk with a gap
C. Lazzoni, R. Bendahan-West, S. Marino +9
We present the first observations of the HD92945 debris disk obtained with JWST, targeting this nearby K0V star located at 21.54 pc from the Sun. High-contrast coronagraphic imagin…
