PDS 70b Shows Stellar-like Carbon-to-oxygen Ratio
Chih-Chun Hsu, Jason J. Wang, Geoffrey A. Blake +27
The 5 Myr PDS 70 is the only known system with protoplanets residing in the cavity of the circumstellar disk from which they formed, ideal for studying exoplanet formation an…
True mass and atmospheric composition of the non-transiting hot Jupiter HD 143105 b
Luke Finnerty, Yinzi Xin, Jerry W. Xuan +28
We present Keck/KPIC phase II -band observations of the non-transiting hot Jupiter HD 143105 b. Using a cross-correlation approach, we make the first detection of the planetary…
RV measurements of directly imaged brown dwarf GQ Lup B to search for exo-satellites
Katelyn Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Konstantin Batygin +35
GQ Lup B is one of the few substellar companions with a detected cicumplanetary disk, or CPD. Observations of the CPD suggest the presence of a cavity, possibly formed by an exo-sa…
Fringing analysis and forward modeling of Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) spectra
Katelyn A. Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jason J. Wang +27
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) combines high contrast imaging with high resolution spectroscopy (R~35,000 in K band) to study directly imaged exoplanets and brown…
Atmospheric characterization of the super-Jupiter HIP 99770 b with KPIC
Yapeng Zhang, Jerry W. Xuan, Dimitri Mawet +28
Young, self-luminous super-Jovian companions discovered by direct imaging provide a challenging test of planet formation and evolution theories. By spectroscopically characterizing…
Are these planets or brown dwarfs? Broadly solar compositions from high-resolution atmospheric retrievals of ~10-30 companions
Jerry W. Xuan, Chih-Chun Hsu, Luke Finnerty +32
Using Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) high-resolution (~35000) spectroscopy from 2.29-2.49 m, we present uniform atmospheric retrievals for eight young substellar…
kappa And b is a fast rotator from KPIC High Resolution Spectroscopy
Evan C. Morris, Jason J. Wang, Chih-Chun Hsu +24
We used the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) to obtain high-resolution (R35,000) K-band spectra of kappa Andromedae b, a planetary-mass companion orbiting the B9V…
Vortex Fiber Nulling for Exoplanet Observations: First Direct Detection of M Dwarf Companions around HIP 21543, HIP 94666, and HIP 50319
Daniel Echeverri, Jerry W. Xuan, John D. Monnier +35
Vortex fiber nulling (VFN) is a technique for detecting and characterizing faint companions at small separations from their host star. A near-infrared (m) VFN demonstrat…
