Searching for Planets in Holey Debris Disks with the Apodizing Phase Plate
Tiffany Meshkat, Vanessa P. Bailey, Kate Y. L. Su +4
We present our first results from a high-contrast imaging search for planetary mass companions around stars with gapped debris disks, as inferred from the stars' bright infrared ex…
Exo-zodi modelling for the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
Grant M. Kennedy, Mark C. Wyatt, Vanessa Bailey +18
Habitable zone dust levels are a key unknown that must be understood to ensure the success of future space missions to image Earth analogues around nearby stars. Current detection…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on LBTI/LMIRCam
D. Defrère, O. Absil, P. Hinz +20
We present the first observations obtained with the L'-band AGPM vortex coronagraph recently installed on LBTI/LMIRCam. The AGPM (Annular Groove Phase Mask) is a vector vortex coro…
Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer Adaptive Optics: On-sky performance and lessons learned
Vanessa P. Bailey, Philip M. Hinz, Alfio T. Puglisi +6
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is a high contrast imager and interferometer that sits at the combined bent Gregorian focus of the LBT's dual 8.4~m apertures. The inte…
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…
High contrast imaging at the LBT: the LEECH exoplanet imaging survey
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Simone Esposito +34
In Spring 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its 130-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) atop Mt Graham, Arizona. This surv…
