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…
SCExAO and GPI Band Photometry and Integral Field Spectroscopy of the Young Brown Dwarf Companion to HD 1160
Eugenio V. Garcia, Thayne Currie, Olivier Guyon +51
We present high signal-to-noise ratio, precise photometry and band (\gpiwave~m) spectroscopy of HD 1160 B, a young substellar companion discovered from the Gemini NICI…
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…
Polarimetry and flux distribution in the debris disk around HD 32297
R. Asensio-Torres, M. Janson, J. Hashimoto +49
We present high-contrast angular differential imaging (ADI) observations of the debris disk around HD 32297 in H-band, as well as the first polarimetric images for this system in p…
Wide-Field InfrarRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets WFIRST-AFTA 2015 Report
D. Spergel, N. Gehrels, C. Baltay +52
This report describes the 2014 study by the Science Definition Team (SDT) of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission. It is a space observatory that will address…
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…
The Moving Group Targets of the SEEDS High-Contrast Imaging Survey of Exoplanets and Disks: Results and Observations from the First Three Years
Timothy D. Brandt, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Michael W. McElwain +52
We present results from the first three years of observations of moving group targets in the SEEDS high-contrast imaging survey of exoplanets and disks using the Subaru telescope.…
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…
Direct Imaging Discovery of a `Super-Jupiter' Around the late B-Type Star Kappa And
J. Carson, C. Thalmann, M. Janson +52
We present the direct imaging discovery of an extrasolar planet, or possible low-mass brown dwarf, at a projected separation of 55 +/- 2 AU (1.058 +/- 0.007 arcsec) from the B9-typ…
Subaru Imaging of Asymmetric Features in a Transitional Disk in Upper Scorpius
S. Mayama, J. Hashimoto, T. Muto +52
We report high-resolution (0.07 arcsec) near-infrared polarized intensity images of the circumstellar disk around the star 2MASS J16042165-2130284 obtained with HiCIAO mounted on t…
The Structure of Pre-transitional Protoplanetary Disks I: Radiative Transfer Modeling of the Disk+Cavity in the PDS 70 system
Ruobing Dong, Jun Hashimoto, Roman Rafikov +49
Through detailed radiative transfer modeling, we present a disk+cavity model to simultaneously explain both the SED and Subaru H-band polarized light imaging for the pre-transition…
New Techniques for High-Contrast Imaging with ADI: the ACORNS-ADI SEEDS Data Reduction Pipeline
Timothy D. Brandt, Michael W. McElwain, Edwin L. Turner +44
We describe Algorithms for Calibration, Optimized Registration, and Nulling the Star in Angular Differential Imaging (ACORNS-ADI), a new, parallelized software package to reduce hi…
High-Contrast NIR Polarization Imaging of MWC480
N. Kusakabe, C. A. Grady, M. L. Sitko +52
One of the key predictions of modeling from the IR excess of Herbig Ae stars is that for protoplanetary disks, where significant grain growth and settling has occurred, the dust di…
Discovery of Small-Scale Spiral Structures in the Disk of SAO 206462 (HD 135344B): Implications for the Physical State of the Disk from Spiral Density Wave Theory
