Coronagraphic observations of Fomalhaut at solar system scales
M. A. Kenworthy, T. Meshkat, S. P. Quanz +3
We report on a search for low mass companions within 10 AU of the star Fomalhaut, using narrow band observations at 4.05 microns obtained with the Apodizing Phase Plate (APP) coron…
PynPoint: An Image Processing Package for Finding Exoplanets
Adam Amara, Sascha Quanz
We present the scientific performance results of PynPoint, our Python-based software package that uses principle component analysis to detect and estimate the flux of exoplanets in…
Searching for young Jupiter analogs around AP Col: L-band high-contrast imaging of the closest pre-main sequence star
Sascha P. Quanz, Justin R. Crepp, Markus Janson +3
The nearby M-dwarf AP Col was recently identified by Riedel et al. 2011 as a pre-main sequence star (age 12 - 50 Myr) situated only 8.4 pc from the Sun. The combination of its yout…
First Light LBT AO Images of HR 8799 bcde at 1.65 and 3.3 Microns: New Discrepancies between Young Planets and Old Brown Dwarfs
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip M. Hinz, Simone Esposito +45
As the only directly imaged multiple planet system, HR 8799 provides a unique opportunity to study the physical properties of several planets in parallel. In this paper, we image a…
Direct imaging constraints on planet populations detected by microlensing
Sascha P. Quanz, David Lafreniere, Michael R. Meyer +2
Results from gravitational microlensing suggested the existence of a large population of free-floating planetary mass objects. The main conclusion from this work was partly based o…
