Commissioning of the MIRAC-5 Mid-Infrared Instrument on the MMT
Rory Bowens, Jarron Leisenring, Michael R. Meyer +11
We present results from commissioning observations of the mid-IR instrument, MIRAC-5, on the 6.5-m MMT telescope. MIRAC-5 is a novel ground-based instrument that utilizes a state-o…
Deep Search for a scattered light dust halo around Vega with the Hubble Space Telescope
Schuyler G. Wolff, András Gáspár, George H. Rieke +6
We present a provisory scattered light detection of the Vega debris disk using deep Hubble Space Telescope coronagraphy (PID 16666). At only 7.7 parsecs, Vega is immensely importan…
Searching for Planets Orbiting Vega with the James Webb Space Telescope
Charles Beichman, Geoffrey Bryden, Jorge Llop-Sayson +15
The most prominent of the IRAS debris disk systems, Lyrae (Vega), at a distance of 7.7 pc, has been observed by both the NIRCam and MIRI instruments on the James Webb Space Tel…
Tuning the MAPS Adaptive Secondary Mirror: Actuator Control, PID Tuning, Power Spectra and Failure Diagnosis
Jess A. Johnson, Amali Vaz, Manny Montoya +17
The MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System (MAPS) is currently in its engineering phase, operating on-sky at the MMT Telescope on Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona. Th…
Identification of a turnover in the initial mass function of a young stellar cluster down to 0.5 M
Matthew De Furio, Michael R. Meyer, Thomas Greene +11
A successful theory of star formation should predict the number of objects as a function of their mass produced through star-forming events. Previous studies in star-forming region…
Investing in the Unrivaled Potential of Wide-Separation Sub-Jupiter Exoplanet Detection and Characterisation with JWST -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper
Aarynn L. Carter, Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Per Calissendorff +15
We advocate for a large scale imaging survey of nearby young moving groups and star-forming regions to directly detect exoplanets over an unexplored range of masses, ages and orbit…
