Observing Strategies for the NICI Campaign to Directly Image Extrasolar Planets
Beth Biller, Etienne Artigau, Zahed Wahhaj +7
We discuss observing strategy for the Near Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) on the 8-m Gemini South telescope. NICI combines a number of techniques to attenuate starlight and s…
Performance of the Near-infrared coronagraphic imager on Gemini-South
Mark Chun, Doug Toomey, Zahed Wahhaj +8
We present the coronagraphic and adaptive optics performance of the Gemini-South Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI). NICI includes a dual-channel imager for simultaneous spe…
NICI: combining coronagraphy, ADI, and SDI
Etienne Artigau, Beth A. Biller, Zahed Wahhaj +9
The Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) is a high-contrast AO imager at the Gemini South telescope. The camera includes a coronagraphic mask and dual channel imaging for Spec…
A Survey for Massive Giant Planets in Debris Disks with Evacuated Inner Cavities
D. Apai, M. Janson, A. Moro-Martin +9
The commonality of collisionally replenished debris around main sequence stars suggests that minor bodies are frequent around Sun-like stars. Whether or not debris disks in general…
The First Direct Distance and Luminosity Determination for a Self-Luminous Giant Exoplanet: The Trigonometric Parallax to 2MASS1207334-393254Ab
Beth Biller, Laird Close
We present the first trigonometric parallax and distance for a young planetary mass object. A likely TW Hya cluster member, 2MASSW J1207334-393254Ab (hereafter 2M1207Ab) is an M8 b…
