Resolving the Dusty Circumstellar Structure of the Enigmatic Symbiotic Star CH Cygni with the MMT Adaptive Optics System
Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Aigen Li +6
We imaged the symbiotic star CH Cyg and two PSF calibration stars using the unique 6.5m MMT deformable secondary adaptive optics system. Our high-resolution (FWHM=0.3"), very high…
Discovery of the Closest Brown Dwarf to the Sun? A Methane Rich Brown Dwarf around the Nearby M8.5 Star SCR 1845-6357

A Survey of Close, Young Stars with the Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI) at the VLT and MMT
Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Elena Masciadri +6
We discuss the preliminary results of a survey of young (<300 Myr), close (<50 pc) stars with the Simultaneous Differential Extrasolar Planet Imager (SDI) implemented at the VLT an…
Suppressing Speckle Noise for Simultaneous Differential Extrasolar Planet Imaging (SDI) at the VLT and MMT
Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Rainer Lenzen +5
We discuss the instrumental and data reduction techniques used to suppress speckle noise with the Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI) implemented at the VLT and the MMT. SDI use…
Discovery of a Very Nearby Brown Dwarf to the Sun: A Methane Rich Brown Dwarf Companion to the Low Mass Star SCR 1845-6357
B. A. Biller, M. Kasper, L. M. Close +2
We present VLT/NACO SDI images of the very nearby star SCR 1845-6357 (hereafter SCR 1845). SCR 1845 is a recently discovered (Hambly et al. 2004) M8.5 star just 3.85 pc from the su…
