Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun
E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18
At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…
A Simple Depth of Search Metric for Exoplanet Imaging Surveys
Daniel Garrett, Dmitry Savransky, Bruce Macintosh
We present a procedure for calculating expected exoplanet imaging yields, which explicitly separates the effects of instrument performance from assumptions of planet distributions.…
Improving and Assessing Planet Sensitivity of the GPI Exoplanet Survey with a Forward Model Matched Filter
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Bruce Macintosh, Jason J. Wang +49
We present a new matched filter algorithm for direct detection of point sources in the immediate vicinity of bright stars. The stellar Point Spread Function (PSF) is first subtract…
Characterizing 51 Eri b from 1-5 m: a partly-cloudy exoplanet
Abhijith Rajan, Julien Rameau, Robert J. De Rosa +58
We present spectro-photometry spanning 1-5 m of 51 Eridani b, a 2-10 M planet discovered by the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey. In this study, we present new…
Evidence that the Directly-Imaged Planet HD 131399 Ab is a Background Star
Eric L. Nielsen, Robert J. De Rosa, Julien Rameau +55
We present evidence that the recently discovered, directly-imaged planet HD 131399 Ab is a background star with non-zero proper motion. From new JHK1L' photometry and spectroscopy…
