Constraints on Extrasolar Planet Populations from VLT NACO/SDI and MMT SDI and Direct Adaptive Optics Imaging Surveys: Giant Planets are Rare at Large Separations

Eric L. Nielsen, Laird M. Close, Beth A. Biller +2

We examine the implications for the distribution of extrasolar planets based on the null results from two of the largest direct imaging surveys published to date. Combining the mea…

An Imaging Survey for Extrasolar Planets around 45 Close, Young Stars with SDI at the VLT and MMT

Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Elena Masciadri +11

We present the results of a survey of 45 young (<250 Myr), close (<50 pc) stars with the Simultaneous Differential Imager (SDI) implemented at the VLT and the MMT for the direct de…

NACO-SDI direct imaging search for the exoplanet Eps Eri b

Markus Janson, Wolfgang Brandner, Thomas Henning +13

The active K2V star Eri hosts the most nearby known extrasolar planet. With an angular separation of about 1" on average, and an age of a few to several hundred Myrs, Eri b…

A direct and differential imaging search for sub-stellar companions to epsilon Indi A

K. Geissler, S. Kellner, W. Brandner +7

We have carried out a direct and differential imaging search for sub-stellar companions to eps Indi A using the adaptive optics system NACO at the ESO VLT. The observations were ca…

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…

A search for hot massive extrasolar planets around nearby young stars with the adaptive optics system NACO

E. Masciadri, R. Mundt, Th. Henning +2

We report on a survey devoted for the search of exo-planets around young and nearby stars carried out with NACO at the VLT. The detection limit for 28 among the best available targ…
