Post conjunction detection of Pictoris b with VLT/SPHERE

A. -M. Lagrange, A. Boccaletti, M. Langlois +102

With an orbital distance comparable to that of Saturn in the solar system, \bpic b is the closest (semi-major axis \,9\,au) exoplanet that has been imaged to orbit a star.…

Spiral Structure and Differential Dust Size Distribution in the LkHa 330 Disk

E. Akiyama, J. Hashimoto, H. B. Liu +58

Dust trapping accelerates the coagulation of dust particles, and thus it represents an initial step toward the formation of planetesimals. We report -band (1.6 um) linear polari…

First light of the VLT planet finder SPHERE. IV. Physical and chemical properties of the planets around HR8799

M. Bonnefoy, A. Zurlo, J. L. Baudino +63

The system of four planets around HR8799 offers a unique opportunity to probe the physics and chemistry at play in the atmospheres of self-luminous young (~30 Myr) planets. We rece…

First light of the VLT planet finder SPHERE. III. New spectrophotometry and astrometry of the HR8799 exoplanetary system

A. Zurlo, A. Vigan, R. Galicher +70

The planetary system discovered around the young A-type HR8799 provides a unique laboratory to: a) test planet formation theories, b) probe the diversity of system architectures at…

Optical imaging polarimetry of the LkCa 15 protoplanetary disk with SPHERE ZIMPOL

Christian Thalmann, Gijs D. Mulders, Markus Janson +15

We present the first optical (590--890 nm) imaging polarimetry observations of the pre-transitional protoplanetary disk around the young solar analog LkCa 15, addressing a number o…

The architecture of the LkCa 15 transitional disk revealed by high-contrast imaging

C. Thalmann, G. D. Mulders, K. Hodapp +12

We present four new epochs of Ks-band images of the young pre-transitional disk around LkCa 15, and perform extensive forward modeling to derive the physical parameters of the disk…
