Orbital characterization of GJ1108A system, and comparison of dynamical mass with model-derived mass for resolved binaries

T. Mizuki, M. Kuzuhara, K. Mede +55

We report an orbital characterization of GJ1108Aab that is a low-mass binary system in pre-main-sequence phase. Via the combination of astrometry using adaptive optics and radial v…

SEEDS direct imaging of the RV-detected companion to V450 Andromedae, and characterization of the system

K. G. Hełminiak, M. Kuzuhara, K. Mede +49

We report the direct imaging detection of a low-mass companion to a young, moderately active star V450 And, that was previously identified with the radial velocity method. The comp…

Discovery of a Disk Gap Candidate at 20 AU in TW Hydrae

E. Akiyama, T. Muto, N. Kusakabe +53

We present a new Subaru/HiCIAO high-contrast H-band polarized intensity (PI) image of a nearby transitional disk associated with TW Hydrae. The scattered light from the disk was de…

A Statistical Analysis of SEEDS and Other High-Contrast Exoplanet Surveys: Massive Planets or Low-Mass Brown Dwarfs?

Timothy D. Brandt, Michael W. McElwain, Edwin L. Turner +50

We conduct a statistical analysis of a combined sample of direct imaging data, totalling nearly 250 stars. The stars cover a wide range of ages and spectral types, and include five…

Imaging Discovery of the Debris Disk Around HIP 79977

C. Thalmann, M. Janson, E. Buenzli +47

We present Subaru/HiCIAO H-band high-contrast images of the debris disk around HIP 79977, whose pres- ence was recently inferred from an infrared excess. Our images resolve the dis…
