Discovery of a 66 mas Ultracool Binary with Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Nick Siegler, Laird M. Close, Adam J. Burgasser +4
We present the discovery of 2MASS J21321145+1341584AB as a closely separated (0.066") very low-mass field dwarf binary resolved in the near-infrared by the Keck II Telescope using…
A Reflective Gaussian Coronagraph for ExAO: Laboratory Performance
Ryeojin Park, Laird M. Close, Nick Siegler +2
We report laboratory results of a coronagraphic test bench to assess the intensity reduction differences between a "Gaussian" tapered focal plane coronagraphic mask and a classical…
Spitzer 24 Micron Observations of Open Cluster IC 2391 and Debris Disk Evolution of FGK Stars
Nick Siegler, James Muzerolle, Erick T. Young +5
We present 24 micron Spitzer/MIPS photometric observations of the ~50 Myr open cluster IC 2391. Thirty-four cluster members ranging in spectral type from B3-M5 were observed in the…
Discovery of 9 New Companions to Nearby Young M Stars with the Altair AO System
Sebastian Daemgen, Nick Siegler, I. Neill Reid +1
We present results of a high-resolution, near-infrared survey of 41 nearby, young (<~300 Myr) M0-M5.0 dwarfs using the Altair natural guide star adaptive optics system at the Gemin…
The Wide Brown Dwarf Binary Oph 1622-2405 and Discovery of A Wide, Low Mass Binary in Ophiuchus (Oph 1623-2402): A New Class of Young Evaporating Wide Binaries?
Laird M. Close, Ben Zuckerman, Inseok Song +10
We imaged five objects near the star forming clouds of Ophiuchus with the Keck Laser Guide Star AO system. We resolved Allers et al. (2006)'s #11 (Oph 16222-2405) and #16 (Oph 1623…
24-micron Detections of Disks around Very Low-mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in IC 348: Grain Growth/Settling and Inner Holes?
James Muzerolle, Lucia Adame, Paola D'Alessio +11
We present observations of six late-type members of the young cluster IC 348 detected at 24 microns with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer(MIPS). At least four of the ob…
