The JWST Sub-Jupiters Survey: Direct Imaging Discovery of a Giant Planet and a Debris Disk Around the Young M-dwarf RX J0534.0-0221

Rodrigo Ferrer-Chavez, Jason J. Wang, Kevin Wagner +47

We present the discovery of RX J0534.0-0221 b, a giant planet orbiting an M-dwarf star in the Pictoris moving group. RX J0534 was originally observed with JWST/NIRCam in the F4…

JWST NIRCam Reveals the Largest Known M-dwarf Debris Disk Around TWA 10 and New Scattered-Light Observations of the TWA 25 Debris Disk

Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Beth Biller +26

We present JWST NIRCam observations of two M-dwarf systems located in the TW Hydra association, TWA 10 and TWA 25. Both systems harbor detected debris disks in the F200W and F444W…

Discovery of a Debris Disk Around TWA 20

Skyler Palatnick, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, Jingwen Zhang +20

We report the discovery of a debris disk surrounding the M3 star, TWA 20, revealed by JWST coronagraphic observations using the Near-infrared Camera (NIRCam). With reference-star d…

Follow-Up Exploration of the TWA 7 Planet-Disk System with JWST NIRCam

Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Kellen Lawson +39

The young M-star TWA 7 hosts a bright and near face-on debris disk, which has been imaged from the optical to the submillimeter. The disk displays multiple complex substructures su…

The Disks In Scorpius-Centaurus Survey (DISCS) I: Four Newly-Resolved Debris Disks in Polarized Intensity Light

Justin Hom, Thomas M. Esposito, Katie A. Crotts +8

The presence of infrared excesses around stars directly correlates to spatially-resolved imaging detections of circumstellar disks at both mm and optical/near-infrared wavelengths.…

Evidence for a sub-jovian planet in the young TWA7 disk

A. -M. Lagrange, C. Wilkinson, M. Mâlin +26

Planets are thought to form from dust and gas in protoplanetary disks, and debris disks are the remnants of planet formation. Aged a few Myr up to a few Gyr, debris disks have lost…

The Search for Disk Perturbing Planets Around the Asymmetrical Debris Disk System HD 111520 Using REBOUND

Katie A. Crotts, Brenda C. Matthews

Debris disks, which are optically thin, dusty disks around main sequence stars, are often found to have structures and/or asymmetries associated with planet-disk interactions. Debr…

Gemini Planet Imager Observations of a Resolved Low-Inclination Debris Disk Around HD 156623

Briley L. Lewis, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Thomas M. Esposito +12

The 16 Myr-old A0V star HD 156623 in the Scorpius--Centaurus association hosts a high-fractional-luminosity debris disk, recently resolved in scattered light for the first time by…

Analyzing the Atmospheric Dispersion Correction of the Gemini Planet Imager: residual dispersion above design requirements

Malachi Noel, Jason J. Wang, Bruce Macintosh +6

The Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) corrects the chromatic dispersion caused by differential atmospheric refraction (DAR), making it an imp…

Octofitter: Fast, Flexible, and Accurate Orbit Modelling to Detect Exoplanets

William Thompson, Jensen Lawrence, Dori Blakely +11

As next-generation imaging instruments and interferometers search for planets closer to their stars, they must contend with increasing orbital motion and longer integration times.…

A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager II: Constraints on Dust Density Distribution Using Empirically-Informed Scattering Phase Functions

Justin Hom, Jennifer Patience, Christine H. Chen +40

Spatially-resolved images of debris disks are necessary to determine disk morphological properties and the scattering phase function (SPF) which quantifies the brightness of scatte…

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…

Millimeter Dust Emission and Planetary Dynamics in the HD 106906 System

Anna Fehr, A. Meredith Hughes, Rebekah I. Dawson +10

Debris disks are dusty, optically thin structures around main sequence stars. HD 106906AB is a short-period stellar binary, host to a wide separation planet, HD 106906b, and a debr…
