An ALMA Disk Mass for the Candidate Protoplanetary Companion to FW Tau
Adam L. Kraus, Sean M. Andrews, Brendan P. Bowler +5
We present ALMA observations of the FW Tau system, a close binary pair of M5 stars with a wide-orbit (300 AU projected separation) substellar companion. The companion is extremely…
Stellar Diameters and Temperatures VI. High angular resolution measurements of the transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 and implications for models of cool dwarfs
Tabetha Boyajian, Kaspar von Braun, Gregory A. Feiden +24
We present direct radii measurements of the well-known transiting exoplanet host stars HD 189733 and HD 209458 using the CHARA Array interferometer. We find the limb-darkened angul…
A Dispersed Heterodyne Design for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
Michael J. Ireland, John D. Monnier
The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a future world facility that will image the process of planetary formation. It will have an angular resolution and sensitivity sufficient to re…
The Science Case for the Planet Formation Imager (PFI)
Stefan Kraus, John Monnier, Tim Harries +16
Among the most fascinating and hotly-debated areas in contemporary astrophysics are the means by which planetary systems are assembled from the large rotating disks of gas and dust…
Planet Formation Imager (PFI): Introduction and Technical Considerations
John D. Monnier, Stefan Kraus, David Buscher +13
Complex non-linear and dynamic processes lie at the heart of the planet formation process. Through numerical simulation and basic observational constraints, the basics of planet fo…
New Evidence for a Substellar Luminosity Problem: Dynamical Mass for the Brown Dwarf Binary Gl 417BC
Trent J. Dupuy, Michael C. Liu, Michael J. Ireland
We present new evidence for a problem with cooling rates predicted by substellar evolutionary models that implies model-derived masses in the literature for brown dwarfs and direct…
