Direct Imaging Discovery of a `Super-Jupiter' Around the late B-Type Star Kappa And

J. Carson, C. Thalmann, M. Janson +52

We present the direct imaging discovery of an extrasolar planet, or possible low-mass brown dwarf, at a projected separation of 55 +/- 2 AU (1.058 +/- 0.007 arcsec) from the B9-typ…

Subaru Imaging of Asymmetric Features in a Transitional Disk in Upper Scorpius

S. Mayama, J. Hashimoto, T. Muto +52

We report high-resolution (0.07 arcsec) near-infrared polarized intensity images of the circumstellar disk around the star 2MASS J16042165-2130284 obtained with HiCIAO mounted on t…

The Structure of Pre-transitional Protoplanetary Disks I: Radiative Transfer Modeling of the Disk+Cavity in the PDS 70 system

Ruobing Dong, Jun Hashimoto, Roman Rafikov +49

Through detailed radiative transfer modeling, we present a disk+cavity model to simultaneously explain both the SED and Subaru H-band polarized light imaging for the pre-transition…

A Common Proper Motion Stellar Companion to HAT-P-7

Norio Narita, Yasuhiro H. Takahashi, Masayuki Kuzuhara +51

We report that HAT-P-7 has a common proper motion stellar companion. The companion is located at arcsec to the east and estimated as an M5.5V dwarf based on its colors. W…

New Techniques for High-Contrast Imaging with ADI: the ACORNS-ADI SEEDS Data Reduction Pipeline

Timothy D. Brandt, Michael W. McElwain, Edwin L. Turner +44

We describe Algorithms for Calibration, Optimized Registration, and Nulling the Star in Angular Differential Imaging (ACORNS-ADI), a new, parallelized software package to reduce hi…

Polarimetric Imaging of Large Cavity Structures in the Pre-transitional Protoplanetary Disk around PDS 70: Observations of the disk

Jun Hashimoto, Ruobing Dong, Tomoyuki Kudo +52

We present high resolution H-band polarized intensity (PI; FWHM = 0."1: 14 AU) and L'-band imaging data (FWHM = 0."11: 15 AU) of the circumstellar disk around the weak-lined T Taur…

Scientific Design of a High Contrast Integral Field Spectrograph for the Subaru Telescope

Michael W. McElwain, Timothy D. Brandt, Markus Janson +18

Ground-based telescopes equipped with adaptive-optics (AO) systems and specialized science cameras are now capable of directly detecting extrasolar planets. We present the expected…

High-Resolution Near-Infrared Polarimetry of a Circumstellar Disk around UX Tau A

Ryoko Tanii, Yoichi Itoh, Tomoyuki Kudo +65

We present H-band polarimetric imagery of UX Tau A taken with HiCIAO/AO188 on the Subaru Telescope. UX Tau A has been classified as a pre-transitional disk object, with a gap struc…

High-Contrast NIR Polarization Imaging of MWC480

N. Kusakabe, C. A. Grady, M. L. Sitko +52

One of the key predictions of modeling from the IR excess of Herbig Ae stars is that for protoplanetary disks, where significant grain growth and settling has occurred, the dust di…

Discovery of Small-Scale Spiral Structures in the Disk of SAO 206462 (HD 135344B): Implications for the Physical State of the Disk from Spiral Density Wave Theory

T. Muto, C. A. Grady, J. Hashimoto +59

We present high-resolution, H-band, imaging observations, collected with Subaru/HiCIAO, of the scattered light from the transitional disk around SAO 206462 (HD 135344B). Although p…

The missing cavities in the SEEDS polarized scattered light images of transitional protoplanetary disks: a generic disk model

R. Dong, R. Rafikov, Z. Zhu +53

Transitional circumstellar disks around young stellar objects have a distinctive infrared deficit around 10 microns in their Spectral Energy Distributions (SED), recently measured…
