Ultraviolet Imaging of SR 12 c with HST/WFC3: Accretion and Variability of a Giant Planet at the End Stages of Growth
Claire O. Finley, Brendan P. Bowler, Ya-Lin Wu +12
Many details of the gas accretion phase during giant planet formation remain untested. We present new 0.2$\unicode{x2013}$0.7 m UV-through-red optical imaging of the young, wid…

Kate Follette, Carl Ferkinhoff, Michael Foley +5
In this document we summarize the results of a survey of undergraduate degree-granting programs conducted by the 2024-2025 American Astronomical Society Education Committee's Subco…
HD 143811 AB b: A Directly Imaged Planet Orbiting a Spectroscopic Binary in Sco-Cen
Nathalie K. Jones, Jason J. Wang, Eric L. Nielsen +51
We present confirmation of HD 143811 AB b, a substellar companion to spectroscopic binary HD 143811 AB through direct imaging with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and Keck NIRC2. HD…
Characterization of the Host Binary of the Directly Imaged Exoplanet HD 143811 AB b
Anne E. Peck, William Roberson, Eric L. Nielsen +50
HD~143811~AB is the host star to the directly imaged planet HD~143811~AB~b, which was recently discovered using data from the Gemini Planet Imager and Keck NIRC2. A member of the S…
Wide Separation Planets In Time (WISPIT): Discovery of a Gap H Protoplanet WISPIT 2b with MagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Richelle F. van Capelleveen, Gabriel Weible +34
Excellent (<25 mas) H images of the star TYC 5709-354-1 led to the discovery of a rare H protoplanet. This star was discovered by the WISPIT survey to have a large multi-…
Discovery of H Emission from a Protoplanet Candidate Around the Young Star 2MASS J16120668-3010270 with MagAO-X
Jialin Li, Laird M. Close, Feng Long +32
2MASS J16120668-3010270 (hereafter 2MJ1612) is a young M0 star that hosts a protoplanetary disk in the Upper Scorpious star-forming region. Recent ALMA observations of 2MJ1612 show…
