NIRC2-Pol: First Light of Near-Infrared Polarimetry on Keck II
Briley L. Lewis, Manxuan Zhang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +21
NIRC2, the Near Infrared Camera 2 on the Keck II telescope, was recently upgraded with a new suite of polarimetric observing modes. The new polarimetry modes (referred to as NIRC2-…
High-contrast aperture masking interferometry: detecting companions within the diffraction limit
Benjamin Calvin, Michael Fitzgerald, Jessica Castellanos
The pursuit of the direct discovery and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets has motivated high contrast imaging surveys using coronagraphs with narrow inner working angles. T…
Enabling Quantitative Polarimetry for Keck/NIRC2: Preliminary Mueller Matrix Model Calibration
Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +27
The Keck/NIRC2 infrared imager was upgraded in 2025 with dual-beam polarimetric observing modes spanning approximately 1.1--4.1 microns (JHKL' bands). We present a preliminary JHK…
Atmospheric characterization of six ultra-hot Jupiters from -band high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +27
We present new Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopic detections of three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in the band: WASP-189b (), MASCARA-1b (), and…
Possible stratospheric emission in the warm Neptune GJ 436 b from high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P Fitzgerald, Jerry W Xuan +26
We present high spectral resolution band (2.91--3.85 m) observations of the warm Neptune GJ 436 b from Keck II/KPIC. KPIC's single-mode fiber feed reduces the band sky b…
Limits on the Post-eclipse Emission Spectrum of HD 80606 b From High-Resolution Spectroscop
Luke Finnerty, Aurora Kesseli, Kyle Pearson +2
We present Keck/NIRSPEC -band observations of HD 80606 b, one of the most eccentric known exoplanets. HD 80606 b was observed after secondary eclipse, close to periastron, when…
Distinct Rotational Evolution of Giant Planets and Brown Dwarf Companions
Chih-Chun Hsu, Jason J. Wang, Jerry W. Xuan +27
We present a rotational velocity (vsini) survey of 32 stellar/substellar objects and giant planets using Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopy, including 6 giant planets (2-7 M$_\…
