Searching for Circumplanetary Dust in the Cavity of the AB Aurigae Disk with ALMA

Lillian Jiang, Brendan P. Bowler, Ya-lin Wu +1

The young intermediate-mass star AB Aurigae is surrounded by a transition disk whose cavity contains several proposed protoplanets, including the debated source "AB Aur b" at a pro…

Deep H Imaging Survey of IC 348 with the Hubble Space Telescope: I. Accretion Properties of Stellar and Substellar Objects

Lillian Yushu Jiang, Brendan P. Bowler, Yifan Zhou +5

Accretion governs the growth of young stars and the early evolution of their circumstellar disks, yet population-level measurements of accretion are often hampered by heterogeneous…

The Cephei System: Updated Orbits, Dynamical Architecture, and Limits on Additional Companions

Judah Van Zandt, Brendan P. Bowler, Michael Endl +18

The Cephei system hosts one of the first exoplanets discovered and is orbited by one of the closest known stellar companions to a planet-hosting star. Here, we derive updated o…

An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?

Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Kyle Franson +15

51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an addit…

H Variability of AB Aur b with the Hubble Space Telescope: Probing the Nature of a Protoplanet Candidate with Accretion Light Echoes

Brendan P. Bowler, Yifan Zhou, Lauren I. Biddle +11

Giant planets generate accretion luminosity as they form. Much of this energy is radiated in strong H line emission, which has motivated direct imaging surveys at optical wavele…

UV-Optical Emission of AB Aur b is Consistent with Scattered Stellar Light

Yifan Zhou, Brendan P. Bowler, Haifeng Yang +12

The proposed protoplanet AB Aur b is a spatially concentrated emission source imaged in the mm-wavelength disk gap of the Herbig Ae/Be star AB Aur. Its near-infrared spectrum and a…
