METIS high-contrast imaging simulations: From instrument modelling to science readiness

Gilles Orban de Xivry, Olivier Absil, Iain Hammond +9

The Mid-infrared Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) instrument, expected to see first light in early 2030, aims to detect and characterise exoplanets a…

Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek

Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94

We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…

Using VLTI/GRAVITY+ to determine the identity of a third planet candidate in the PDS 70 system

David Trevascus, Wolfgang Brandner, Olga Balsalobre-Ruza +75

Detections of protoplanets are rare and protoplanetary disk features mischaracterized as planets are common. PDS 70 is one of only two stars known to host multiple confirmed protop…

Multi-epoch scattered-light analysis of HD 135344B: new evidence for a spiral-driving protoplanet

J. Latour, V. Christiaens, O. Absil +17

The HD 135344B (SAO 206462) disk exhibits strong signposts of planet formation. ALMA images in the sub-mm revealed a gap-crossing dust filament whose position coincides with a twis…

Two inner dust clumps in PDS 70. A third protoplanet traced by trojan material or a substructured inner disk?

O. Balsalobre-Ruza, V. Christiaens, N. Huélamo +18

The PDS 70 cavity hosts two confirmed directly imaged protoplanets and a third inner planet candidate at 13au, labeled PDS 70 d. Despite its Keplerian motion, its unusually blue sp…

exoALMA XIX: Confirmation of Non-thermal Line Broadening in the DM Tau Protoplanetary Disk

Caitlyn Hardiman, Christophe Pinte, Daniel J. Price +38

Turbulence is expected to transport angular momentum and drive mass accretion in protoplanetary disks. One way to directly measure turbulent motion in disks is through molecular li…
