Investigating three Sirius-like systems with SPHERE
R. Gratton, V. D'Orazi, T. A. Pacheco +61
Sirius-like systems are wide binaries composed of a white dwarf (WD) and a companion of a spectral type earlier than M0. The WD progenitor evolves in isolation, but its wind during…
XAO-assisted coronagraphy with SHARK NIR: from simulations to laboratory tests
Gabriele Umbriaco, Elena Carolo, Daniele Vassallo +22
Several Extreme Adaptive Optics (XAO) systems dedicated to the detection and characterisation of the exoplanets are currently in operation for 8-10 meter class telescopes. Coronagr…
The effect of stellar multiplicity on protoplanetary discs. A NIR survey of the Lupus star forming region
Alice Zurlo, Lucas A. Cieza, Megan Ansdell +9
We present results from a near-infrared (NIR) adaptive optics (AO) survey of pre-main-sequence stars in the Lupus Molecular Cloud with VLT/NACO to identify (sub)stellar companions…
A triple star in disarray -- Multi-epoch observations of T Tauri with VLT-SPHERE and LBT-LUCI
M. Kasper, K. K. R. Santhakumari, T. M. Herbst +24
T Tauri remains an enigmatic triple star for which neither the evolutionary state of the stars themselves, nor the geometry of the complex outflow system is completely understood.…
Characterization of very wide companion candidates to young stars with planets and disks
F. Z. Majidi, S. Desidera, J. M. Alcalá +6
Discovering wide companions of stellar systems allows us to constrain the dynamical environment and age of the latter. We studied four probable wide companions of four different st…
The search for disks or planetary objects around directly imaged companions: A candidate around DH Tau B
C. Lazzoni, A. Zurlo, S. Desidera +45
In recent decades, thousands of substellar companions have been discovered with both indirect and direct methods of detection. In this paper, we focus our attention on substellar c…
