Forecasts on the Dark Matter Density Profiles of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with Current and Future Kinematic Observations

Juan Guerra, Marla Geha, Louis E. Strigari

We forecast parameter uncertainties on the mass profile of a typical Milky Way dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy using the spherical Jeans Equation and Fisher matrix formalism. We sho…

SPHERE on-sky performance compared with budget predictions

Kjetil Dohlen, Arthur Vigan, David Mouillet +21

The SPHERE (spectro-photometric exoplanet research) extreme-AO planet hunter saw first light at the VLT observatory on Mount Paranal in May 2014 after ten years of development. Gre…

First Light LBT AO Images of HR 8799 bcde at 1.65 and 3.3 Microns: New Discrepancies between Young Planets and Old Brown Dwarfs

Andrew J. Skemer, Philip M. Hinz, Simone Esposito +45

As the only directly imaged multiple planet system, HR 8799 provides a unique opportunity to study the physical properties of several planets in parallel. In this paper, we image a…

High Resolution Images of Orbital Motion in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the LBT Adaptive Optics System

L. M. Close, A. Puglisi, J. R. Males +28

The new 8.4m LBT adaptive secondary AO system, with its novel pyramid wavefront sensor, was used to produce very high Strehl (75% at 2.16 microns) near infrared narrowband (Br gamm…

LBT observations of the HR 8799 planetary system: First detection of HR8799e in H band

S. Esposito, D. Mesa, A. Skemer +33

We have performed H and Ks band observations of the planetary system around HR 8799 using the new AO system at the Large Binocular Telescope and the PISCES Camera. The excellent in…
