Astrometric Evidence for Outer Giant Planets in Known Exoplanet Systems
Clarissa R. Do Ó, William Thompson, Dori Blakely +19
Outer giant planets can influence the formation and dynamical evolution of their planetary systems. However, their long orbital periods make them difficult to detect using transit…
Addressing the low-wind effect with the Lyot-based low-order wavefront sensor on SCExAO
Garima Singh, Sebastien Vievard, Julien Lozi +5
The Low-Wind Effect (LWE) is a well-known issue that affects the coronagraphic capabilities of instruments optimized to take direct images of exoplanets. This effect is prominent i…
Dynamical Mass Constraints on Transition Disk Perturbers with the G23H Catalog
Dori Blakely, William Thompson, Doug Johnstone +14
We present dynamical mass constraints on perturbers in 11 transition disk systems using a novel combination of calibrated Hipparcos and Gaia absolute astrometry data. Out of the sa…
Detecting and Characterizing Companions with a Calibrated Gaia DR2, DR3, and Hipparcos Catalog (G23H)
William Thompson, Dori Blakely, Jerry W. Xuan +16
Gaia DR4 epoch astrometry will enable the detection of thousands of exoplanets through astrometric motion. Here, we present a composite catalog and modeling framework that extracts…
