Confirmation of the planet around HD 95086 by direct imaging
J. Rameau, G. Chauvin, A. -M. Lagrange +8
VLT/NaCo angular differential imaging at L' (3.8 microns) revealed a probable giant planet comoving with the young and early-type HD 95086 also known to harbor an extended debris d…
Weather on the Nearest Brown Dwarfs: Resolved Simultaneous Multi-Wavelength Variability Monitoring of WISE J104915.57-531906.1AB
Beth A. Biller, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Luigi Mancini +15
We present two epochs of MPG/ESO 2.2m GROND simultaneous 6-band () photometric monitoring of the closest known L/T transition brown dwarf binary WISE J104915.57-531906.1…
OTS44: Disk and accretion at the planetary border
V. Joergens, M. Bonnefoy, Y. Liu +4
We discover that the very low-mass brown dwarf OTS44 (M9.5, ~12 M_Jup) has significant accretion and a substantial disk, which demonstrates that the processes that accompany canoni…
Further Evidence of the Planetary Nature of HD 95086 b from Gemini/NICI H-band Data
T. Meshkat, V. Bailey, J. Rameau +8
We present our analysis of the Gemini/NICI H-band data of HD 95086, following the discovery of the planet HD 95086 b in L'. The H-band data reach a contrast of 12.7 mag relative to…
A library of near-infrared integral field spectra of young M-L dwarfs
M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin, A. -M. Lagrange +5
We present a library of near-infrared (1.1-2.45 microns) medium-resolution (R~1500-2000) integral field spectra of 15 young M6-L0 dwarfs, composed of companions with known ages and…
The Moving Group Targets of the SEEDS High-Contrast Imaging Survey of Exoplanets and Disks: Results and Observations from the First Three Years
Timothy D. Brandt, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Michael W. McElwain +52
We present results from the first three years of observations of moving group targets in the SEEDS high-contrast imaging survey of exoplanets and disks using the Subaru telescope.…
Astrophysical false positives in direct imaging for exoplanets: a white dwarf close to a rejuvenated star
A. Zurlo, A. Vigan, J. Hagelberg +17
As is the case for all techniques involved in the research for exoplanets, direct imaging has to take into account the probability of so-called astrophysical false positives, which…
Direct imaging discovery of 12-14 Jupiter mass object orbiting a young binary system of very low-mass stars
P. Delorme, J. Gagné, J. H. Girard +8
Context. Though only a handful of extrasolar planets have been discovered via direct imaging, each of these discoveries had tremendous impact on our understanding of planetary form…
A survey of young, nearby, and dusty stars to understand the formation of wide-orbit giant planets
J. Rameau, G. Chauvin, A. -M. Lagrange +7
Direct imaging has confirmed the existence of substellar companions on wide orbits. To understand the formation and evolution mechanisms of these companions, the full population pr…
Independent confirmation of β Pictoris b imaging with NICI
Anthony Boccaletti, Anne-Marie Lagrange, Mickaël Bonnefoy +2
Context. β Pictoris b is one of the most studied objects nowadays since it was identified with VLT/NaCo as a bona-fide exoplanet with a mass of about 9 times that of Jupiter at an…
The near-infrared spectral energy distribution of β Pictoris b
M. Bonnefoy, A. Boccaletti, A. -M. Lagrange +9
A gas giant planet has previously been directly seen orbiting at 8-10 AU within the debris disk of the ~12 Myr old star β Pictoris. The β Pictoris system offers the rare opportunit…
