Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light Years from Earth

Paul Kalas, James R. Graham, Eugene Chiang +6

Fomalhaut is a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light years) from Earth that harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet.…

The Photometric Variability of HH 30

Alan M. Watson, María Carolina Durán-Rojas, Karl R. Stapelfeldt

HH 30 is an edge-on disk around a young stellar object. Previous imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope has show morphological variability that is possibly related to the rotation…

Debris disks around Sun-like stars

D. E. Trilling, G. Bryden, C. A. Beichman +7

We have observed nearly 200 FGK stars at 24 and 70 microns with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We identify excess infrared emission, including a number of cases where the observed fl…

Multi-Wavelength Imaging of Young Stellar Object Disks: Toward an Understanding of Disk Structure and Dust Evolution

Alan M. Watson, Karl R. Stapelfeldt, Kenneth Wood +1

We review recent progress in high-resolution imaging of scattered light from disks around young stellar objects. Many new disks have been discovered or imaged in scattered light, a…

First Steps in Direct Imaging of Planetary Systems Like our Own: The Science Potential of 2-m Class Optical Space Telescopes

Karl Stapelfeldt, John Trauger, Weslay Traub +4

We summarize the scientific potential of high contrast optical space imaging for studies of extrasolar planets, debris disks, and planet formation. The unique scientific capabiliti…

A Spitzer Study of the Mass Loss Histories of Three Bipolar Pre-Planetary Nebulae

Tuan Do, Mark Morris, Raghvendra Sahai +1

We present the results of far-infrared imaging of extended regions around three bipolar pre-planetary nebulae, AFGL 2688, OH 231.8+4.2, and IRAS 163423814, at 70 and 160 m wi…
