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…
Finding ultracool brown dwarfs with MegaCam on CFHT: method and first results
Philippe Delorme, Chris J. Willott, Thierry Forveille +9
We present the first results of a wide field survey for cool brown dwarfs with the MegaCam camera on the CFHT telescope, the Canada-France Brown Dwarf Survey, hereafter CFBDS. Our…
CFBDS J005910.90-011401.3: reaching the T-Y Brown Dwarf transition?
Philippe Delorme, Xavier Delfosse, Loic Albert +9
We report the discovery of CFBDS J005910.90-011401.3 (hereafter CFBDS0059), the coolest brown dwarf identified to date. We found CFBDS0059 using i' and z' images from the Canada-Fr…
