Host-star metallicities and kinematics of directly imaged brown-dwarf companions
C. Swastik, R. K. Banyal, M. Muduli +15
Brown dwarfs are common as free-floating objects but rare as close companions to Sun-like stars, a disparity known as the "brown-dwarf desert". Host-star metallicity can constrain…
Pre-shipment optical characterization of the SCALES instrument
Isabel J. Kain, Reni Kupke, Daren Dillon +31
The Slicer Combined with an Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a 1-5 micron imager and 2-5 micron integral field spectrograph, currently being comm…
A Quiet Host in an Active Planet-Forming Disk: Optical Spectroscopy of WISPIT 2
C. Swastik, M. Bestha, L. S. Sonith +11
WISPIT 2 is a young pre-main-sequence star hosting a multi-ringed transition disk and two directly imaged protoplanets, including the accreting WISPIT 2b, making it the closest kno…
Imaging the LkCa 15 system in polarimetry and total intensity without self-subtraction artefacts
C. Swastik, Zahed Wahhaj, Myriam Benisty +7
Studying young protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding planet formation, but traditional angular differential imaging can introduce self-subtraction artefacts that hind…
Venus as an exoplanet analog: extended UV transit signatures and coronal occultations
Tisyagupta Pyne, Belur Ravindra, Ravinder K. Banyal
Stellar activity manifests differently across wavelengths, causing flux variability that can obscure planetary transits. While transit observations are typically performed in the v…
The 10 pc Neighborhood of Habitable Zone Exoplanetary Systems: Threat Assessment from Stellar Encounters & Supernovae
Tisyagupta Pyne, Ravinder K. Banyal, C. Swastik +1
The habitability of a planet is influenced by both its parent star and the properties of its local stellar neighborhood. Potential threats to habitability from the local stellar en…
