Dynamical masses of M-dwarf binaries in young moving groups: II - Toward empirical mass-luminosity isochrones
Markus Janson, Stephen Durkan, Mickael Bonnefoy +6
Low-mass stars exhibit substantial pre-main sequence evolution during the first ~100 Myrs of their lives. Thus, young M-type stars are prime targets for isochronal dating, especial…
Mapping of shadows cast on a protoplanetary disk by a close binary system
V. D'Orazi, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +47
For a comprehensive understanding of planetary formation and evolution, we need to investigate the environment in which planets form: circumstellar disks. Here we present high-cont…
Telluric correction in the near-infrared: Standard star or synthetic transmission?
S. Ulmer-Moll, P. Figueira, J. J. Neal +2
Context. The atmospheric absorption of the Earth is an important limiting factor for ground-based spectroscopic observations and the near-infrared and infrared regions are the most…
VLT/SPHERE Multi-Wavelength High-Contrast Imaging of the HD 115600 Debris Disk: New Constraints on the Dust Geometry and the Presence of Young Giant Planets
Aidan Gibbs, Kevin Wagner, Daniel Apai +5
Young and dynamically active planetary systems can form disks of debris that are easier to image than the planets themselves. The morphology and evolution of these disks can help t…
A Search for Variability in Exoplanet Analogues and Low-Gravity Brown Dwarfs

We report the results of a -band survey for photometric variability in a sample of young, low-gravity objects using the New Technology Telescope (NTT) and the United Kingdom Inf…
K2 Targets Observed with SPHERE/VLT: An M4-7 Dwarf Companion Resolved around EPIC 206011496
Roxanne Ligi, Olivier Demangeon, Susana Barros +6
The quest to discover exoplanets is one of the most important missions in astrophysics, and is widely performed using the transit method, which allows for the detection of exoplane…
The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Limits on Planet Occurrence Rates Under Conservative Assumptions

We present the results of the largest (m) direct imaging survey for exoplanets to date, the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Exozodi Exoplanet Co…
High-Contrast study of the candidate planets and protoplanetary disk around HD~100546
E. Sissa, R. Gratton, A. Garufi +62
The nearby Herbig Be star HD100546 is known to be a laboratory for the study of protoplanets and their relation with the circumstellar disk that is carved by at least 2 gaps. We ob…
Orbital characterization of GJ1108A system, and comparison of dynamical mass with model-derived mass for resolved binaries
T. Mizuki, M. Kuzuhara, K. Mede +55
We report an orbital characterization of GJ1108Aab that is a low-mass binary system in pre-main-sequence phase. Via the combination of astrometry using adaptive optics and radial v…
Exoplanet Atmosphere Measurements from Direct Imaging
Beth A. Biller, Mickaël Bonnefoy
In the last decade, about a dozen giant exoplanets have been directly imaged in the IR as companions to young stars. With photometry and spectroscopy of these planets in hand from…
Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70
M. Keppler, M. Benisty, A. Müller +123
Young circumstellar disks are of prime interest to understand the physical and chemical conditions under which planet formation takes place. Only very few detections of planet cand…
The GJ 504 system revisited. Combining interferometric, radial velocity, and high contrast imaging data
M. Bonnefoy, K. Perraut, A. -M. Lagrange +79
The G-type star GJ504A is known to host a 3 to 35 MJup companion whose temperature, mass, and projected separation all contribute to make it a test case for the planet formation th…
Orbital and atmospheric characterization of the planet within the gap of the PDS 70 transition disk
