The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Limits on Planet Occurrence Rates Under Conservative Assumptions
Jordan M. Stone, Andrew J. Skemer, Philip M. Hinz +33
We present the results of the largest (m) direct imaging survey for exoplanets to date, the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Exozodi Exoplanet Co…
Direct Imaging in Reflected Light: Characterization of Older, Temperate Exoplanets With 30-m Telescopes
Etienne Artigau, Rebecca A. Bernstein, Timothy Brandt +22
Direct detection, also known as direct imaging, is a method for discovering and characterizing the atmospheres of planets at intermediate and wide separations. It is the only means…
The HOSTS Survey for Exozodiacal Dust: Preliminary results and future prospects
S. Ertel, G. M. Kennedy, D. Defrère +40
[abridged] The presence of large amounts of dust in the habitable zones of nearby stars is a significant obstacle for future exo-Earth imaging missions. We executed an N band nulli…
Modeling coronagraphic extreme wavefront control systems for high contrast imaging in ground and space telescope missions
Jennifer Lumbres, Jared Males, Ewan Douglas +17
The challenges of high contrast imaging (HCI) for detecting exoplanets for both ground and space applications can be met with extreme adaptive optics (ExAO), a high-order adaptive…
Focal plane wavefront sensing and control strategies for high-contrast imaging on the MagAO-X instrument
Kelsey Miller, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +14
The Magellan extreme adaptive optics (MagAO-X) instrument is a new extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) system designed for operation in the visible to near-IR which will deliver high co…
Status of MagAO and review of astronomical science with visible light adaptive optics
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katie M. Morzinski +10
We review astronomical results in the visible (lambda <1 micron) with adaptive optics and note the status the MagAO system and the recent upgrade to visible camera's Simultaneous/S…
The hunt for Sirius Ab: Comparison of algorithmic sky and PSF estimation performance in deep coronagraphic thermal-IR high contrast imaging
Joseph D. Long, Jared R. Males, Katie M. Morzinski +7
Despite promising astrometric signals, to date there has been no success in direct imaging of a hypothesized third member of the Sirius system. Using the Clio instrument and MagAO…
MagAO-X: project status and first laboratory results
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Kelsey Miller +32
MagAO-X is an entirely new "extreme" adaptive optics system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope, funded by the NSF MRI program starting in Sep 2016. The key science goal of MagAO…
Magellan Adaptive Optics Imaging of PDS 70: Measuring the Mass Accretion Rate of a Young Giant Planet within a Gapped Disk
Kevin Wagner, Katherine B. Follette, Laird M. Close +11
PDS 70b is a recently discovered and directly imaged exoplanet within the wide (40 au) cavity around PDS 70 (Keppler et al. 2018, Müller et al. 2018). Ongoing accretion on…
Finding and Characterizing Other Worlds: the Thermal-IR ELT Opportunity
Michael R. Meyer, Thayne Currie, Olivier Guyon +7
The next generation ground-based extremely large telescopes (ELTs) present incredible opportunities to discover and characterize diverse planetary systems, even potentially habitab…
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…
