High-contrast Imaging with Spitzer: Deep Observations of Vega, Fomalhaut, and epsilon Eridani

Markus Janson, Sascha P. Quanz, Joseph C. Carson +3

Stars with debris disks are intriguing targets for direct imaging exoplanet searches, both due to previous detections of wide planets in debris disk systems, as well as commonly ex…

Long-lasting dust rings in gas-rich disks: sculpting by single and multiple planets

Farzana Meru, Sascha P. Quanz, Maddalena Reggiani +2

We propose a mechanism by which dust rings in protoplanetary disks can form and be long-lasting compared to gas rings. This involves the existence of a pressure maximum which traps…

Discovery of a Companion Candidate in the HD169142 Transition Disk and the Possibility of Multiple Planet Formation

Maddalena Reggiani, Sascha P. Quanz, Michael R. Meyer +14

We present L' and J-band high-contrast observations of HD169142, obtained with the VLT/NACO AGPM vector vortex coronagraph and the Gemini Planet Imager, respectively. A source loca…

The VLT/NaCo large program to probe the occurrence of exoplanets and brown dwarfs at wide orbits: II- Survey description, results and performances

G. Chauvin, A. Vigan, M. Bonnefoy +29

In anticipation of the VLT/SPHERE planet imager guaranteed time programs, we have conducted a preparatory survey of 86 stars between 2009 and 2013 in order to identify new faint co…
