On the Morphology and Chemical Composition of the HR 4796A Debris Disk
Timothy J. Rodigas, Christopher C. Stark, Alycia Weinberger +17
[abridged] We present resolved images of the HR 4796A debris disk using the Magellan adaptive optics system paired with Clio-2 and VisAO. We detect the disk at 0.77 \microns, 0.91…
A high resolution image of the inner-shell of the PCygni nebula in the infra-red [Fe II] line
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Roberto Ragazzoni, Carlo Morossi +10
We have obtained with the LBT Telescope AO system Near-Infrared camera PISCES images of the inner-shell of the nebula around the luminous blue variable star P Cygni in the [Fe II]…
Direct imaging of exoplanets in the habitable zone with adaptive optics
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Olivier Guyon +16
One of the primary goals of exoplanet science is to find and characterize habitable planets, and direct imaging will play a key role in this effort. Though imaging a true Earth ana…
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…
Into the Blue: AO Science with MagAO in the Visible
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katherine B. Follette +11
We review astronomical results in the visible (λ<1μm) with adaptive optics. Other than a brief period in the early 1990s, there has been little astronomical science done in the vis…
On the use of asymmetric PSF on NIR images of crowded stellar fields
Giuliana Fiorentino, Ivan Ferraro, Giacinto Iannicola +8
We present data collected using the camera PISCES coupled with the Firt Light Adaptive Optics (FLAO) mounted at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). The images were collected using…
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…
Discovery of H-alpha Emission from the Close Companion Inside the Gap of Transitional Disk HD142527
L. M. Close, K. B. Follette, J. R. Males +10
We utilized the new high-order 585 actuator Magellan Adaptive Optics system (MagAO) to obtain very high-resolution visible light images of HD142527 with MagAO's VisAO science camer…
