Observing Strategies for the NICI Campaign to Directly Image Extrasolar Planets
Beth Biller, Etienne Artigau, Zahed Wahhaj +7
We discuss observing strategy for the Near Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) on the 8-m Gemini South telescope. NICI combines a number of techniques to attenuate starlight and s…
Performance of the Near-infrared coronagraphic imager on Gemini-South
Mark Chun, Doug Toomey, Zahed Wahhaj +8
We present the coronagraphic and adaptive optics performance of the Gemini-South Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI). NICI includes a dual-channel imager for simultaneous spe…
NICI: combining coronagraphy, ADI, and SDI
Etienne Artigau, Beth A. Biller, Zahed Wahhaj +9
The Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) is a high-contrast AO imager at the Gemini South telescope. The camera includes a coronagraphic mask and dual channel imaging for Spec…
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…
Improved age constraints for the AB Dor quadruple system - The binary nature of AB Dor B
Markus Janson, Wolfgang Brandner, Rainer Lenzen +5
We present resolved NACO photometry of the close binary AB Dor B in H- and Ks-band. AB Dor B is itself known to be a wide binary companion to AB Dor A, which in turn has a very low…
