Fomalhaut's Debris Disk and Planet: Constraining the Mass of Fomalhaut b From Disk Morphology

E. Chiang, E. Kite, P. Kalas +2

Following the optical imaging of the exoplanet candidate Fomalhaut b (Fom b), we present a numerical model of how Fomalhaut's debris disk is gravitationally shaped by an interior p…

A Ring of Warm Dust in the HD 32297 Debris Disk

Michael P. Fitzgerald, Paul G. Kalas, James R. Graham

We report the detection of a ring of warm dust in the edge-on disk surrounding HD 32297 with the Gemini-N/MICHELLE mid-infrared imager. Our N'-band image shows elongated structure…

Evidence for a Long-Standing Top-Heavy IMF in the Central Parsec of the Galaxy

H. Maness, F. Martins, S. Trippe +10

We classify 329 late-type giants within 1 parsec of Sgr A*, using the adaptive optics integral field spectrometer SINFONI on the VLT. These observations represent the deepest spect…

Stellar and Molecular Radii of a Mira Star: First Observations with the Keck Interferometer Grism

J. A. Eisner, J. R. Graham, R. L. Akeson +6

Using a new grism at the Keck Interferometer, we obtained spectrally dispersed (R ~ 230) interferometric measurements of the Mira star R Vir. These data show that the measured radi…

Speckle Statistics in Adaptively Corrected Images

Michael P. Fitzgerald, James R. Graham

(abridged) Imaging observations are generally affected by a fluctuating background of speckles, a particular problem when detecting faint stellar companions at small angular separa…

Mass Segregation and the Initial Mass Function of Super Star Cluster M82-F

Nate McCrady, James R. Graham, William D. Vacca

We investigate the Initial Mass Function and mass segregation in super star cluster M82-F with high resolution Keck/NIRSPEC echelle spectroscopy. Cross-correlation with template su…
