Thermal Infrared Constraint to a Planetary Companion of Vega with the MMT Adaptive Optics System
Philip M. Hinz, A. N. Heinze, Suresh Sivanandam +5
Vega may have a massive companion in a wide orbit, as evidenced by structure in its cold dust debris. We have tested this hypothesis by direct imaging with adaptive optics in the M…
Resolving the Dusty Circumstellar Structure of the Enigmatic Symbiotic Star CH Cygni with the MMT Adaptive Optics System
Beth A. Biller, Laird M. Close, Aigen Li +6
We imaged the symbiotic star CH Cyg and two PSF calibration stars using the unique 6.5m MMT deformable secondary adaptive optics system. Our high-resolution (FWHM=0.3"), very high…
Resolved Mid-Infrared Emission Around AB Aur and V892 Tau with Adaptive Optics Nulling Interferometric Observations
W. M. Liu, P. M. Hinz, W. F. Hoffmann +3
We present the results of adaptive optics nulling interferometric observations of two Herbig Ae stars, AB Aur and V892 Tau. Our observations at 10.3 microns show resolved circumste…
Adaptive Optics Nulling Interferometric Constraints on the Mid-Infrared Exozodiacal Dust Emission around Vega
W. M. Liu, P. M. Hinz, W. F. Hoffmann +7
We present the results of mid-infrared nulling interferometric observations of the main-sequence star alpha Lyr (Vega) using the 6.5 m MMT with its adaptive secondary mirror. From…
Mid-Infrared Imaging of the Post-AGB Star AC Herculis with the MMT Adaptive Optics System
Laird M. Close, Beth Biller, William F. Hoffmann +8
We utilized the MMT's unique deformable secondary adaptive optics system to produce high-resolution (FWHM=0.3"), very high Strehl mid-infrared (9.8, 11.7 & 18 micron) images of the…
High Resolution Images of Orbital Motion in the Trapezium Cluster: First Scientific Results from the MMT Deformable Secondary Mirror Adaptive Optics System
Laird M. Close, Francois Wildi, Michael Lloyd-Hart +16
We present the first scientific images obtained with a deformable secondary mirror adaptive optics system. We utilized the 6.5m MMT AO system to produce high-resolution (FWHM=0.07'…
