Maximising the mid-infrared high-contrast performance of ELT/METIS despite water vapour seeing

Olivier Absil, Gilles Orban de Xivry, Prashant Pathak +7

The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) will be equipped with a SCAO system delivering Strehl ratios above 90% at L band (3.5 - 4.1 um) and close to 99% at N band (8 -…

Exploring the directly imaged HD 1160 system through spectroscopic characterization and high-cadence variability monitoring

Ben J. Sutlieff, Jayne L. Birkby, Jordan M. Stone +15

The time variability and spectra of directly imaged companions provide insight into their physical properties and atmospheric dynamics. We present follow-up R~40 spectrophotometric…

A planetary collision afterglow and transit of the resultant debris cloud

Matthew Kenworthy, Simon Lock, Grant Kennedy +19

Planets grow in rotating disks of dust and gas around forming stars, some of which can subsequently collide in giant impacts after the gas component is removed from the disk. Monit…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned

Steph Sallum, Shrishmoy Ray, Jens Kammerer +120

We present a performance analysis for the aperture masking interferometry (AMI) mode on board the James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NI…
