Dissecting the Moth: Discovery of an off-centered ring in the HD 61005 debris disk with high-resolution imaging
Esther Buenzli, Christian Thalmann, Arthur Vigan +17
The debris disk known as "The Moth" is named after its unusually asymmetric surface brightness distribution. It is located around the ~90 Myr old G8V star HD 61005 at 34.5 pc and h…
Design, analysis, and testing of a microdot apodizer for the apodized pupil Lyot coronagraph (Research note). III. Application to extremely large telescopes
Martinez, P., Dorrer +7
The apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph is one of the most advanced starlight cancellation concepts studied intensively in the past few years. Extreme adaptive optics instruments built…
First Results From VLT NACO Apodizing Phase Plate: 4-micron Images of the Exoplanet beta Pictoris b
Sascha P. Quanz, Michael R. Meyer, Matthew Kenworthy +9
Direct imaging of exoplanets requires both high contrast and high spatial resolution. Here, we present the first scientific results obtained with the newly commissioned Apodizing P…
A giant planet imaged in the disk of the young star Beta Pictoris
A. -M. Lagrange, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +8
Here we show that the ~10 Myr Beta Pictoris system hosts a massive giant planet, Beta Pictoris b, located 8 to 15 AU from the star. This result confirms that gas giant planets form…
Searching for sub-stellar companion into the LkCa15 proto-planetary disk
M. Bonavita, G. Chauvin, A. Boccaletti +8
Recent sub-millimetric observations at the Plateau de Bure interferometer evidenced a cavity at ~ 46 AU in radius into the proto-planetary disk around the T Tauri star LkCa15 (V107…
Photometric characterization of exoplanets using angular and spectral differential imaging
Arthur Vigan, Claire Moutou, Maud Langlois +5
The direct detection of exoplanets has been the subject of intensive research in the recent years. Data obtained with future high-contrast imaging instruments optimized for giant p…
