Arithmetic Visibility in Polygons: Curved Sight in the Art Gallery

Malik Barrett

In the classical art gallery problem, a guard sees a target when the segment joining them lies entirely within the polygon. We explore what changes when sight may bend along regula…

Keck Observations in the INfrared of Taurus and Oph Exoplanets And Ultracool dwarfs (KOINTREAU) II: Two Young Bound Companions to Ophiuchus Stars

Samuel Walker, Michael C. Liu, Dimitri Mawet +4

We present the second set of discoveries from Keck Observations in the INfrared of Taurus and Oph Exoplanets And Ultracool dwarfs (KOINTREAU), an adaptive optics survey of youn…

A second planetesimal collision in the Fomalhaut system

Paul Kalas, Jason J. Wang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +7

The nearby star Fomalhaut is orbited by a compact source, Fomalhaut b, which has previously been interpreted as either a dust-enshrouded exoplanet or a dust cloud generated by the…

A Survey of Protoplanetary Disks Using the Keck/NIRC2 Vortex Coronagraph

Nicole L. Wallack, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Garreth Ruane +34

Recent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of protoplanetary disks in the millimeter continuum have shown a variety of radial gaps, cavities, and spira…

A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager I: An Empirical Search for Perturbations from Planetary Companions in Polarized Light Images

Katie A. Crotts, Brenda C. Matthews, Gaspard Duchêne +37

The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) has excelled in imaging debris disks in the near-infrared. The GPI Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) imaged twenty-four debris disks in polarized -band lig…

Vortex Fiber Nulling for Exoplanet Observations: Implementation and First Light

Daniel Echeverri, Jerry Xuan, Nemanja Jovanovic +31

Vortex fiber nulling (VFN) is a single-aperture interferometric technique for detecting and characterizing exoplanets separated from their host star by less than a diffracted beam…

Improving Planet Detection with Disk Modeling: Keck/NIRC2 Imaging of the HD 34282 Single-armed Protoplanetary Disk

Juan Quiroz, Nicole L. Wallack, Bin Ren +5

Formed in protoplanetary disks around young stars, giant planets can leave observational features such as spirals and gaps in their natal disks through planet-disk interactions. Al…

Spiral Arm Pattern Motion in the SAO 206462 Protoplanetary Disk

Chengyan Xie, Bin Ren, Ruobing Dong +5

Spiral arms have been observed in more than a dozen protoplanetary disks, yet the origin of nearly all systems is under debate. Multi-epoch monitoring of spiral arm morphology offe…

Early High-contrast Imaging Results with Keck/NIRC2-PWFS: The SR 21 Disk

Taichi Uyama, Bin Ren, Dimitri Mawet +22

High-contrast imaging of exoplanets and protoplanetary disks depends on wavefront sensing and correction made by adaptive optics instruments. Classically, wavefront sensing has bee…
