High resolution imaging of young M-type stars of the solar neighborhood: Probing the existence of companions down to the mass of Jupiter
P. Delorme, A. M. Lagrange, G. Chauvin +5
Context. High contrast imaging is a powerful technique to search for gas giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting at separation larger than several AU. Around solar-type stars, gian…
MESS (Multi-purpose Exoplanet Simulation System): A Monte Carlo tool for the statistical analysis and prediction of exoplanets search results
M. Bonavita, G. Chauvin, S. Desidera +5
The high number of planet discoveries made in the last years provides a good sample for statistical analysis, leading to some clues on the distributions of planet parameters, like…
Searching for faint companions with VLTI/PIONIER. I. Method and first results
Olivier Absil, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Jean-Philippe Berger +10
Context. A new four-telescope interferometric instrument called PIONIER has recently been installed at VLTI. It provides improved imaging capabilities together with high precision.…
Simulation of planet detection with the SPHERE IFS
D. Mesa, R. Gratton, A. Berton +13
Aims. We present simulations of the perfomances of the future SPHERE IFS instrument designed for imaging extrasolar planets in the near infrared (Y, J, and H bands). Methods. We us…
A companion candidate in the gap of the T Cha transitional disk
N. Huelamo, S. Lacour, P. Tuthill +3
T Cha is a young star surrounded by a cold disk. The presence of a gap within its disk, inferred from fitting to the spectral energy distribution, has suggested on-going planetary…
Probing the impact of stellar duplicity on the frequency of giant planets: final results of our VLT/NACO survey
A. Eggenberger, S. Udry, G. Chauvin +4
If it is commonly agreed that the presence of a (moderately) close stellar companion affects the formation and the dynamical evolution of giant planets, the frequency of giant plan…
