Ruling out Stellar Companions and Resolving the Innermost Regions of Transitional Disks with the Keck Interferometer
Jorg-Uwe Pott, Marshall D. Perrin, Elise Furlan +3
With the Keck Interferometer, we have studied at 2 um the innermost regions of several nearby, young, dust depleted "transitional" disks. Our observations target five of the six cl…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Hubble Space Telescope Optical Imaging of the Eroding Debris Disk HD 61005
H. L. Maness, P. Kalas, K. M. G. Peek +7
We present Hubble Space Telescope optical coronagraphic polarization imaging observations of the dusty debris disk HD 61005. The scattered light intensity image and polarization st…
Pre-Discovery 2007 Image of the HR 8799 Planetary System
Stanimir Metchev, Christian Marois, B. Zuckerman
We present a pre-discovery H-band image of the HR 8799 planetary system that reveals all three planets in August 2007. The data were obtained with the Keck adaptive optics system,…
Toward the End of Stars: Discovering the Galaxy's Coldest Brown Dwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Josh Bloom, Kelle Cruz +9
This White Paper to the National Academy of Sciences Astro2010 Decadal Review Committee highlights cross-disciplinary science opportunities over the next decade with cold brown dwa…
The Formation and Architecture of Young Planetary Systems
Adam L. Kraus, Kevin Covey, Michael Liu +5
Newly-formed planetary systems with ages of <10 Myr offer many unique insights into the formation, evolution, and fundamental properties of extrasolar planets. These planets have f…
