The Orbit and Transit Prospects for Pictoris b constrained with One Milliarcsecond Astrometry

Jason J. Wang, James R. Graham, Laurent Pueyo +51

A principal scientific goal of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is obtaining milliarcsecond astrometry to constrain exoplanet orbits. However, astrometry of directly imaged exoplanet…
