On the Morphology and Chemical Composition of the HR 4796A Debris Disk
Timothy J. Rodigas, Christopher C. Stark, Alycia Weinberger +17
[abridged] We present resolved images of the HR 4796A debris disk using the Magellan adaptive optics system paired with Clio-2 and VisAO. We detect the disk at 0.77 \microns, 0.91…
Direct imaging of exoplanets in the habitable zone with adaptive optics
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Olivier Guyon +16
One of the primary goals of exoplanet science is to find and characterize habitable planets, and direct imaging will play a key role in this effort. Though imaging a true Earth ana…
MagAO: Status and on-sky performance of the Magellan adaptive optics system
Katie M. Morzinski, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +19
MagAO is the new adaptive optics system with visible-light and infrared science cameras, located on the 6.5-m Magellan "Clay" telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The inst…
Into the Blue: AO Science with MagAO in the Visible
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katherine B. Follette +11
We review astronomical results in the visible (λ<1μm) with adaptive optics. Other than a brief period in the early 1990s, there has been little astronomical science done in the vis…
Magellan Adaptive Optics first-light observations of the exoplanet Pic b. I. Direct imaging in the far-red optical with MagAO+VisAO and in the near-IR with NICI
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Katie M. Morzinski +20
We present the first ground-based CCD (m) image of an extrasolar planet. Using MagAO's VisAO camera we detected the extrasolar giant planet (EGP) Pictoris b in -short…
