Distinct Rotational Evolution of Giant Planets and Brown Dwarf Companions

Chih-Chun Hsu, Jason J. Wang, Jerry W. Xuan +27

We present a rotational velocity (vsini) survey of 32 stellar/substellar objects and giant planets using Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopy, including 6 giant planets (2-7 M$_\…

Technical description and performance of the phase II version of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer

Nemanja Jovanovic, Daniel Echeverri, Jacques-Robert Delorme +46

The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a series of upgrades for the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system and the NIRSPEC spectrograph to enable diffraction limited, high…

PDS 70b Shows Stellar-like Carbon-to-oxygen Ratio

Chih-Chun Hsu, Jason J. Wang, Geoffrey A. Blake +27

The 5 Myr PDS 70 is the only known system with protoplanets residing in the cavity of the circumstellar disk from which they formed, ideal for studying exoplanet formation an…

True mass and atmospheric composition of the non-transiting hot Jupiter HD 143105 b

Luke Finnerty, Yinzi Xin, Jerry W. Xuan +28

We present Keck/KPIC phase II -band observations of the non-transiting hot Jupiter HD 143105 b. Using a cross-correlation approach, we make the first detection of the planetary…

RV measurements of directly imaged brown dwarf GQ Lup B to search for exo-satellites

Katelyn Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Konstantin Batygin +35

GQ Lup B is one of the few substellar companions with a detected cicumplanetary disk, or CPD. Observations of the CPD suggest the presence of a cavity, possibly formed by an exo-sa…

Fringing analysis and forward modeling of Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) spectra

Katelyn A. Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jason J. Wang +27

The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) combines high contrast imaging with high resolution spectroscopy (R~35,000 in K band) to study directly imaged exoplanets and brown…
