Five New Sirius-Like White Dwarf + Main Sequence Star Systems with MagAO-X
Logan A. Pearce, Jared R. Males, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +20
Most known white dwarfs in multiple systems with main sequence stars have been discovered with M-type companions, because the white dwarf causes detectable UV excess and bluer colo…
HIP 67506 C: MagAO-X Confirmation of a New Low-Mass Stellar Companion to HIP 67506 A
Logan A. Pearce, Jared R. Males, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +17
We report the confirmation of HIP 67506 C, a new stellar companion to HIP 67506 A. We previously reported a candidate signal at 2/D (240~mas) in L in MagAO/Clio imagi…
Companion Mass Limits for 17 Binary Systems Obtained with Binary Differential Imaging and MagAO/Clio
Logan A. Pearce, Jared R. Males, Alycia J. Weinberger +4
Improving direct detection capability close to the star through improved star-subtraction and post-processing techniques is vital for discovering new low-mass companions and charac…

Yutong Shan, Jennifer C. Yee, Vanessa P. Bailey +4
We present limits on the lens flux of OGLE-2007-BLG-224 based on MagAO imaging taken seven years after the microlensing event. At the time of the observations, the lens should have…
The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey
Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…
Imaging the 44 AU Kuiper Belt-analogue debris ring around HD 141569A with GPI polarimetry
J. S. Bruzzone, S. Metchev, G. Duchene +53
We present the first polarimetric detection of the inner disk component around the pre-main sequence B9.5 star HD 141569A. Gemini Planet Imager H-band (1.65 micron) polarimetric di…
New Spatially Resolved Imaging of the SR 21 Transition Disk and Constraints on the Small-Grain Disk Geometry
Steph Sallum, Andy Skemer, Josh Eisner +9
We present new 0.6 - 4 m imaging of the SR 21 transition disk from Keck/NIRC2 and Magellan/MagAO. The protoplanetary disk around SR 21 has a large (~ 30 - 40 AU) clearing first…
The HOSTS survey - Exozodiacal dust measurements for 30 stars
S. Ertel, D. Defrère, P. Hinz +40
The HOSTS (Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems) survey searches for dust near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main sequence stars. We use nulling…
The Intricate Structure of HH 508, the Brightest Microjet in the Orion Nebula
Ya-Lin Wu, Laird M. Close, Jinyoung Serena Kim +2
We present Magellan adaptive optics H imaging of HH 508, which has the highest surface brightness among protostellar jets in the Orion Nebula. We find that HH 508 actually has a…
The Orbit of the Companion to HD 100453A: Binary-Driven Spiral Arms in a Protoplanetary Disk
Kevin Wagner, Ruobing Dong, Patrick Sheehan +9
HD 100453AB is a 10+/-2 Myr old binary whose protoplanetary disk was recently revealed to host a global two-armed spiral structure. Given the relatively small projected separation…
The TWA 3 Young Triple System: Orbits, Disks, Evolution
Kendra Kellogg, L. Prato, Guillermo Torres +14
We have characterized the spectroscopic orbit of the TWA 3A binary and provide preliminary families of probable solutions for the TWA 3A visual orbit as well as for the wide TWA 3A…
The Multiplicity of M-Dwarfs in Young Moving Groups
Yutong Shan, Jennifer C. Yee, Brendan P. Bowler +11
We image 104 newly identified low-mass (mostly M-dwarf) pre-main sequence members of nearby young moving groups with Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) and identify 27 binaries with…
Resolving the H-alpha-emitting Region in the Wind of Eta Carinae
Ya-Lin Wu, Nathan Smith, Laird M. Close +2
The massive evolved star Eta Carinae is the most luminous star in the Milky Way and has the highest steady wind mass-loss rate of any known star. Radiative transfer models of the s…
An ALMA and MagAO Study of the Substellar Companion GQ Lup B
Ya-Lin Wu, Patrick D. Sheehan, Jared R. Males +6
Multi-wavelength observations provide a complementary view of the formation of young directly-imaged planet-mass companions. We report the ALMA 1.3 mm and Magellan adaptive optics…
L-band Spectroscopy with Magellan-AO/Clio2: First Results on Young Low-Mass Companions
Jordan M. Stone, Josh Eisner, Andy Skemer +6
L-band spectroscopy is a powerful probe of cool low-gravity atmospheres: The P, Q, and R branch fundamental transitions of methane near 3.3 m provide a sensitive probe of carbon…
Adaptive Optics imaging of VHS 1256-1257: A Low Mass Companion to a Brown Dwarf Binary System
