Carbon monoxide emission lines reveal an inverted atmosphere in the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-33 b consistent with an eastward hot spot

Lennart van Sluijs, Jayne L. Birkby, Joshua Lothringer +7

We report the first detection of CO emission at high spectral resolution in the day-side infrared thermal spectrum of an exoplanet. These emission lines, found in the atmosphere of…

The M-dwarfs in Multiples (MinMs) survey - I. Stellar multiplicity among low-mass stars within 15 pc

K. Ward-Duong, J. Patience, R. J. De Rosa +6

We present a large-scale, volume-limited companion survey of 245 late-K to mid-M (K7-M6) dwarfs within 15 pc. Infrared adaptive optics (AO) data were analysed from the Very Large T…

The VAST Survey - IV. A wide brown dwarf companion to the A3V star Delphini

R. J. De Rosa, J. Patience, K. Ward-Duong +10

We report the discovery of a wide co-moving substellar companion to the nearby ( pc) A3V star Delphini based on imaging and follow-up spectroscopic observations o…

Adaptive Optics Images III: 87 Kepler Objects of Interest

Courtney D. Dressing, Elisabeth R. Adams, Andrea K. Dupree +2

The Kepler mission has revolutionized our understanding of exoplanets, but some of the planet candidates identified by Kepler may actually be astrophysical false positives or plane…

First Light LBT AO Images of HR 8799 bcde at 1.65 and 3.3 Microns: New Discrepancies between Young Planets and Old Brown Dwarfs

Andrew J. Skemer, Philip M. Hinz, Simone Esposito +45

As the only directly imaged multiple planet system, HR 8799 provides a unique opportunity to study the physical properties of several planets in parallel. In this paper, we image a…

The Gray Needle: Large Grains in the HD 15115 Debris Disk from LBT/PISCES/Ks and LBTI/LMIRcam/L' Adaptive Optics Imaging

Timothy J. Rodigas, Philip M. Hinz, Jarron Leisenring +52

We present diffraction-limited \ks band and \lprime adaptive optics images of the edge-on debris disk around the nearby F2 star HD 15115, obtained with a single 8.4 m primary mirro…
