Interactions of Young Binaries with Disks

Stephen H. Lubow, Pawel Artymowicz

The environment of a binary star system may contain two circumstellar disks, one orbiting each of the stars, and a circumbinary disk orbiting about the entire binary. The disk stru…

The 3D Flow Field Around an Embedded Planet

Jeffrey Fung, Pawel Artymowicz, Yanqin Wu

3D modifications to the well-studied 2D flow topology around an embedded planet have the potential to resolve long-standing problems in planet formation theory. We present a detail…

Irradiation Instability at the Inner Edges of Accretion Disks

Jeffrey Fung, Pawel Artymowicz

An instability can potentially operate in highly irradiated disks where the disk sharply transitions from being radially transparent to opaque (the 'transition region'). Such condi…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Giant Planets around Young B and A Stars

Eric L. Nielsen, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +22

We have carried out high contrast imaging of 70 young, nearby B and A stars to search for brown dwarf and planetary companions as part of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign. O…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign : Discovery of a Substellar L Dwarf Companion to the Nearby Young M Dwarf CD-35 2722

Zahed Wahhaj, Michael C. Liu, Beth A. Biller +23

We present the discovery of a wide (67 AU) substellar companion to the nearby (21 pc) young solar-metallicity M1 dwarf CD-35 2722, a member of the ~100 Myr AB Doradus association.…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign

Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj, Beth A. Biller +21

Our team is carrying out a multi-year observing program to directly image and characterize young extrasolar planets using the Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) on the Gemin…
