Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets
Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +32
The paper describes two upgrades to the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer’s NOMIC camera—a quadruple annular groove phase mask coronagraph and a new Teledyne GeoSnap detecto…
Large-amplitude Variability Driven by Giant Dust Storms on a Planetary-mass Companion
Xianyu Tan, Xi Zhang, Mark S. Marley +17
Large-amplitude variations are commonly observed in the atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets and brown dwarfs. VHS 1256B, the most variable known planet-mass object, exhibits…
A Deep Search for Exomoons Around WISE 0855 With JWST
Mikayla J. Wilson, Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew J. Skemer +11
JWST is collecting time-series observations of many free-floating planets (FFPs) to study their weather, but these light curves are the ideal datasets to search for exomoons that t…
Laboratory testing and characterization of a hybrid fast/slow readout mode for the H2RG detectors in SCALES
Peyton Benac, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Eric Wang +13
The upcoming SCALES (Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy) instrument for W.M. Keck Observatory will enable new imaging and low-/mid-resolution coronag…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems III: Aperture Masking Interferometric Observations of the star HIP 65426 at 3.8 um
Shrishmoy Ray, Steph Sallum, Sasha Hinkley +121
We present aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of the star HIP 65426 at as a part of the JWST Direct Imaging Early Release Science (ERS) program obta…
