Bridging the gap between stars and planets
Aina Palau, Dimitris Stamatellos, Matthew Bate +58
The formation mechanisms of brown dwarfs (BDs) and free-floating planets (FFPs) are poorly constrained. The two main competing scenarios include the star-like scenario, where these…
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- II. Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy
Chris J. Willott, René Doyon, Loic Albert +26
We present the wide field slitless spectroscopy mode of the NIRISS instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. This mode employs two orthogonal low-resolution (resolving power $\…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on VLT/NACO: Discovery of a late-type companion at two beamwidths from an F0V star
D. Mawet, O. Absil, C. Delacroix +20
Context. High contrast imaging has thoroughly combed through the limited search space accessible with first-generation ground-based adaptive optics instruments and the Hubble Space…
Flare emission from Sagittarius A*
A. Eckart, M. Garcia-Marin, S. N. Vogel +18
Based on Bremer et al. (2011) and Eckart et al. (2012) we report on simultaneous observations and modeling of the millimeter, near-infrared, and X-ray flare emission of the source…
Near-infrared proper motions and spectroscopy of infrared excess sources at the Galactic Center
A. Eckart, K. Muzic, S. Yazici +11
There are a number of faint compact infrared excess sources in the central stellar cluster of the Milky Way. Their nature and origin is unclear. In addition to several isolated obj…
The instrumental polarization of the Nasmyth focus polarimetric differential imager NAOS/CONICA (NACO) at the VLT - Implications for time-resolved polarimetric measurements of Sgr A*
G. Witzel, A. Eckart, R. M. Buchholz +9
We report on the results of calibrating and simulating the instrumental polarization properties of the ESO VLT adaptive optics camera system NAOS/CONICA (NACO) in the Ks-band. We u…
