HD 106906 b: A planetary-mass companion outside a massive debris disk
Vanessa Bailey, Tiffany Meshkat, Megan Reiter +14
We report the discovery of a planetary-mass companion, HD 106906 b, with the new Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) + Clio2 system. The companion is detected with Clio2 in three band…
Directly Imaged L-T Transition Exoplanets in the Mid-Infrared
Andrew J. Skemer, Mark S. Marley, Philip M. Hinz +15
Gas-giant planets emit a large fraction of their light in the mid-infrared (3m), where photometry and spectroscopy are critical to our understanding of the bulk propert…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Planets around Young Moving Group Stars
Beth A. Biller, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +18
We report results of a direct imaging survey for giant planets around 80 members of the Beta Pic, TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, AB Dor, and Hercules-Lyra moving groups, observed as pa…
Design, implementation, and on-sky performance of an advanced apochromatic triplet atmospheric dispersion corrector for the Magellan adaptive optics system and VisAO camera
Derek Kopon, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +1
We present the novel design, laboratory verification, and on-sky performance of our advanced triplet atmospheric dispersion corrector (ADC), an important component of the Magellan…
The First Circumstellar Disk Imaged in Silhouette with Adaptive Optics: MagAO Imaging of Orion 218-354
Katherine B. Follette, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +11
We present high resolution adaptive optics (AO) corrected images of the silhouette disk Orion 218-354 taken with Magellan AO (MagAO) and its visible light camera, VisAO, in simulta…
Diffraction-limited Visible Light Images of Orion Trapezium Cluster With the Magellan Adaptive Secondary AO System (MagAO)
L. M. Close, J. R. Males, K. Morzinski +13
We utilized the new high-order (250-378 mode) Magellan Adaptive Optics system (MagAO) to obtain very high spatial resolution observations in "visible light" with MagAO's VisAO CCD…
High Resolution H alpha Images of the Binary Low-mass Proplyd LV 1 with the Magellan AO System
Y. -L. Wu, L. M. Close, J. R. Males +11
We utilize the new Magellan adaptive optics system (MagAO) to image the binary proplyd LV 1 in the Orion Trapezium at H alpha. This is among the first AO results in visible wavelen…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Giant Planets Around Debris Disk Stars
Zahed Wahhaj, Michael C. Liu, Eric L. Nielsen +17
We have completed a high-contrast direct imaging survey for giant planets around 57 debris disk stars as part of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign. We achieved median H-band…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Frequency of Giant Planets around Young B and A Stars
Eric L. Nielsen, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +22
We have carried out high contrast imaging of 70 young, nearby B and A stars to search for brown dwarf and planetary companions as part of the Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign. O…
Direct Imaging in the Habitable Zone and the Problem of Orbital Motion
Jared R. Males, Andrew J. Skemer, Laird M. Close
High contrast imaging searches for exoplanets have been conducted on 2.4-10 m telescopes, typically at H band (1.6 microns) and used exposure times of ~1 hr to search for planets w…
