An Enigmatic Pointlike Feature within the HD 169142 Transitional Disk
Beth A. Biller, Jared Males, Timothy Rodigas +13
We report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a …
The VLT/NaCo large program to probe the occurrence of exoplanets and brown dwarfs at wide orbits: II- Survey description, results and performances
G. Chauvin, A. Vigan, M. Bonnefoy +29
In anticipation of the VLT/SPHERE planet imager guaranteed time programs, we have conducted a preparatory survey of 86 stars between 2009 and 2013 in order to identify new faint co…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Offset Ring of HR 4796 A
Zahed Wahhaj, Michael C. Liu, Beth A. Biller +7
We present J, H, CH_4 short (1.578 micron), CH_4 long (1.652 micron) and K_s-band images of the dust ring around the 10 Myr old star HR 4796 A obtained using the Near Infrared Coro…
Magellan Adaptive Optics first-light observations of the exoplanet Pic b. I. Direct imaging in the far-red optical with MagAO+VisAO and in the near-IR with NICI
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Katie M. Morzinski +20
We present the first ground-based CCD (m) image of an extrasolar planet. Using MagAO's VisAO camera we detected the extrasolar giant planet (EGP) Pictoris b in -short…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Orbit of the Young Exoplanet beta Pictoris b
Eric L. Nielsen, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +12
We present new astrometry for the young (12--21 Myr) exoplanet beta Pictoris b taken with the Gemini/NICI and Magellan/MagAO instruments between 2009 and 2012. The high dynamic ran…
A global cloud map of the nearest known brown dwarf
I. J. M. Crossfield, B. Biller, J. E. Schlieder +9
Brown dwarfs -- substellar bodies more massive than planets but not massive enough to initiate the sustained hydrogen fusion that powers self-luminous stars -- are born hot and slo…
LEECH: A 100 Night Exoplanet Imaging Survey at the LBT
Andrew Skemer, Daniel Apai, Vanessa Bailey +29
In February 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its 100-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope atop Mount Graham in Arizona. LEECH nearly c…
