Design and performance of the PALM-3000 3.5 kHz upgrade
Seth R. Meeker, Tuan N. Truong, Jennifer E. Roberts +11
PALM-3000 (P3K), the second generation adaptive optics (AO) instrument for the 5.1 meter Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory, was released as a facility class instrument in Octob…
Know The Star, Know the Planet. IV. A Stellar Companion to the Host star of the Eccentric Exoplanet HD 8673b
Lewis C. Roberts, Brian D. Mason, Christopher R. Neyman +28
HD 8673 hosts a massive exoplanet in a highly eccentric orbit (e=0.723). Based on two epochs of speckle interferometry a previous publication identified a candidate stellar compani…
Reconnaissance of the HR 8799 Exosolar System II: Astrometry and Orbital Motion
L. Pueyo, R. Soummer, J. Hoffmann +30
We present an analysis of the orbital motion of the four sub-stellar objects orbiting HR8799. Our study relies on the published astrometric history of this system augmented with an…
PULSE: The Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard G. Dekany, Rick S. Burruss +8
The Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets (PULSE) will dramatically expand the science reach of PALM-3000, the facility high-contrast extreme adaptive optics system…
Electric Field Conjugation with the Project 1640 coronagraph
Eric Cady, Christoph Baranec, Charles Beichman +25
The Project 1640 instrument on the 200-inch Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory is a coronagraphic instrument with an integral field spectrograph at the back end, designed to fin…
PULSE: Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard Dekany, Marcos van Dam +1
PULSE is a new concept to augment the currently operating 5.1-m Hale PALM-3000 exoplanet adaptive optics system with an ultraviolet Rayleigh laser and associated wavefront sensor.…
PALM-3000: Exoplanet Adaptive Optics for the 5-meter Hale Telescope
R. Dekany, J. Roberts, R. Burruss +17
We describe and report first results from PALM-3000, the second-generation astronomical adaptive optics facility for the 5.1-m Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory. PALM-3000 has…
Reconnaissance of the HR 8799 Exosolar System I: Near IR Spectroscopy
B. R. Oppenheimer, C. Baranec, C. Beichman +29
We obtained spectra, in the wavelength range λ= 995 - 1769 nm, of all four known planets orbiting the star HR 8799. Using the suite of instrumentation known as Project 1640 on the…
A Close Companion Search around L Dwarfs using Aperture Masking Interferometry and Palomar Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
David Bernat, Antonin H. Bouchez, Michael Ireland +22
We present a close companion search around sixteen known early-L dwarfs using aperture masking interferometry with Palomar laser guide star adaptive optics. The use of aperture mas…
