A Clear View of a Cloudy Brown Dwarf Companion from High-Resolution Spectroscopy

Jerry W. Xuan, Jason Wang, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio +37

Direct imaging studies have mainly used low-resolution spectroscopy () to study the atmospheres of giant exoplanets and brown dwarf companions, but the presence of clo…

Detection and Bulk Properties of the HR 8799 Planets with High Resolution Spectroscopy

Jason J. Wang, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Evan Morris +49

Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), we obtained high-resolution (R35,000) -band spectra of the four planets orbiting HR 8799. We clearly detected \water…

Early High-contrast Imaging Results with Keck/NIRC2-PWFS: The SR 21 Disk

Taichi Uyama, Bin Ren, Dimitri Mawet +22

High-contrast imaging of exoplanets and protoplanetary disks depends on wavefront sensing and correction made by adaptive optics instruments. Classically, wavefront sensing has bee…

Keck/NIRC2 '-Band Imaging of Jovian-Mass Accreting Protoplanets around PDS 70

Jason J. Wang, Sivan Ginzburg, Bin Ren +42

We present '-band imaging of the PDS 70 planetary system with Keck/NIRC2 using the new infrared pyramid wavefront sensor. We detected both PDS 70 b and c in our images, as well…

Directly Imaging Rocky Planets from the Ground

B. Mazin, É. Artigau, V. Bailey +59

Over the past three decades instruments on the ground and in space have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system. These observations have given rise to an astonishi…

LASSO: Large Adaptive optics Survey for Substellar Objects using the new SAPHIRA detector on Robo-AO

Maissa Salama, James Ou, Christoph Baranec +13

We report on initial results from the largest infrared AO direct imaging survey searching for wide orbit (>100 AU) massive exoplanets and brown dwarfs as companions around young ne…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: Asymmetries in the HD 141569 disc

Beth A. Biller, Michael C. Liu, Ken Rice +8

We report here the highest resolution near-IR imaging to date of the HD 141569A disc taken as part of the NICI Science Campaign. We recover 4 main features in the NICI images of th…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Offset Ring of HR 4796 A

Zahed Wahhaj, Michael C. Liu, Beth A. Biller +7

We present J, H, CH_4 short (1.578 micron), CH_4 long (1.652 micron) and K_s-band images of the dust ring around the 10 Myr old star HR 4796 A obtained using the Near Infrared Coro…

Magellan Adaptive Optics first-light observations of the exoplanet Pic b. I. Direct imaging in the far-red optical with MagAO+VisAO and in the near-IR with NICI

Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Katie M. Morzinski +20

We present the first ground-based CCD (m) image of an extrasolar planet. Using MagAO's VisAO camera we detected the extrasolar giant planet (EGP) Pictoris b in -short…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Planets around Young Moving Group Stars

Beth A. Biller, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +18

We report results of a direct imaging survey for giant planets around 80 members of the Beta Pic, TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, AB Dor, and Hercules-Lyra moving groups, observed as pa…
