Minimization of non common path aberrations at the Palomar telescope using a self-coherent camera
Raphael Galicher, Pierre Baudoz, Jacques-Robert Delorme +5
The two main advantages of exoplanet imaging are the discovery of objects in the outer part of stellar systems -- constraining models of planet formation --, and its ability to spe…
High-contrast imaging of HD 163296 with the Keck/NIRC2 L'-band vortex coronograph
G. Guidi, G. Ruane, J. P. Williams +16
We present observations of the nearby (D100\,pc) Herbig star HD~163296 taken with the vortex coronograph at Keck/NIRC2 in the L' band (3.7~m), to search for planetary mass…
The HOSTS survey - Exozodiacal dust measurements for 30 stars
S. Ertel, D. Defrère, P. Hinz +40
The HOSTS (Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems) survey searches for dust near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main sequence stars. We use nulling…
The dusty AGB star RS CrB: first mid-infrared interferometric observations with the Keck Telescopes
B. Mennesson, C. Koresko, M. J. Creech-Eakman +2
We report interferometric observations of the semi-regular variable star RS CrB, a red giant with strong silicate emission features. The data were among the first long baseline mid…
