The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey. Further constraints on the planet architecture of the HR 8799 system

A. -L. Maire, A. J. Skemer, P. M. Hinz +36

Context. Astrometric monitoring of directly-imaged exoplanets allows the study of their orbital parameters and system architectures. Because most directly-imaged planets have long…

Gemini Planet Imager Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 planets c and d

Patrick Ingraham, Mark S. Marley, Didier Saumon +43

During the first-light run of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) we obtained K-band spectra of exoplanets HR 8799 c and d. Analysis of the spectra indicates that planet d may be warmer…

An Enigmatic Pointlike Feature within the HD 169142 Transitional Disk

Beth A. Biller, Jared Males, Timothy Rodigas +13

We report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a …

The First H-band Spectrum of the Massive Gas Giant Planet beta Pictoris b with the Gemini Planet Imager

Jeffrey Chilcote, Travis Barman, Michael P. Fitzgerald +43

Using the recently installed Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), we have taken the first H-band spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby young star beta Pictoris. GPI is designed…

Polarimetry with the Gemini Planet Imager: Methods, Performance at First Light, and the Circumstellar Ring around HR 4796A

Marshall D. Perrin, Gaspard Duchene, Max Millar-Blanchaer +41

We present the first results from the polarimetry mode of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), which uses a new integral field polarimetry architecture to provide high contrast linear p…

The Gemini Planet Imager: First Light

Bruce Macintosh, James R. Graham, Patrick Ingraham +44

The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a dedicated facility for directly imaging and spectroscopically characterizing extrasolar planets. It combines a very high-order adaptive optics s…

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…

The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign: The Orbit of the Young Exoplanet beta Pictoris b

Eric L. Nielsen, Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj +12

We present new astrometry for the young (12--21 Myr) exoplanet beta Pictoris b taken with the Gemini/NICI and Magellan/MagAO instruments between 2009 and 2012. The high dynamic ran…

LEECH: A 100 Night Exoplanet Imaging Survey at the LBT

Andrew Skemer, Daniel Apai, Vanessa Bailey +29

In February 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its 100-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope atop Mount Graham in Arizona. LEECH nearly c…
