Worlds Next Door. III. Indirect Evidence for Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity and/or the Presence of Water Clouds in the Nearest Jupiter-analog Eri b
Aniket Sanghi, James Mang, Jorge Llop-Sayson +12
We present the most sensitive direct imaging search for the nearest ( pc) Jupiter-analog exoplanet, Eri b, with JWST/NIRCam coronagraphy between 4-5 m (F444W). We…
Water ice in the debris disk around HD 181327
Chen Xie, Christine H. Chen, Carey M. Lisse +13
Debris disks are exoplanetary systems that contain planets, minor bodies (i.e., asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, comets, etc.), and micron-sized debris dust. Since water ice is the…
JWST/MIRI Imaging of the Warm Dust Component of the Epsilon Eridani Debris Disk
Schuyler G. Wolff, András Gáspár, George Rieke +4
We present JWST/MIRI observations of the debris disk surrounding the nearby, solar analog Epsilon Eridani obtained as part of the Archetypal Debris Disk GTO program. Multi-waveleng…
Deep Search for a scattered light dust halo around Vega with the Hubble Space Telescope
Schuyler G. Wolff, András Gáspár, George H. Rieke +6
We present a provisory scattered light detection of the Vega debris disk using deep Hubble Space Telescope coronagraphy (PID 16666). At only 7.7 parsecs, Vega is immensely importan…
Imaging of the Vega Debris System using JWST/MIRI
Kate Y. L. Su, Andras Gaspar, George H. Rieke +6
We present images of the Vega planetary debris disk obtained at 15.5, 23, and 25.5 microns with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on JWST. The debris system is remarkably symmetri…
