Worlds Next Door. IV. Mapping the Late Stages of Giant Planet Evolution with a Precise Dynamical Mass and Luminosity for Ind Ab
Aniket Sanghi, William Thompson, James Mang +21
We present new JWST/NIRCam 4-5 m (F410M, F430M) and JWST/MIRI 18-25 m (F1800W, F2100W, F2550W) imaging detections of the nearby (3.6 pc) cold (275 K) gas giant exoplanet $Î…
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…
SCExAO/CHARIS and Gaia Direct Imaging and Astrometric Discovery of a Superjovian Planet 3--4 lambda/D from the Accelerating Star HIP 54515
Thayne Currie, Yiting Li, Mona El Morsy +28
We present the discovery of a superjovian planet around the young A5 star HIP 54515, detected using precision astrometry from the Hipparcos Gaia Catalogue of Accelerations and high…
OASIS Survey Direct Imaging and Astrometric Discovery of HIP 71618 B: A Substellar Companion Suitable for the Roman Coronagraph Technology Demonstration
Mona El Morsy, Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy +27
We present the OASIS survey program discovery of a substellar companion orbiting the young A1V star HIP 71618, detected using precision astrometry from Gaia and Hipparcos and high-…
Revised Mass and Orbit of Eridani b: A 1 Jupiter-Mass Planet on a Near-Circular Orbit
William Thompson, Eric Nielsen, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio +2
The mature Jovian planet Eridani b orbits one of the closest sun-like stars at a moderate separation of 3.5 AU, presenting one of the best opportunities to image a tr…
