The VORTEX project: first results and perspectives
Olivier Absil, Dimitri Mawet, Christian Delacroix +15
(abridged) Vortex coronagraphs are among the most promising solutions to perform high contrast imaging at small angular separations. They feature a very small inner working angle,…
A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars. IV. An unbiased sample of 92 southern stars observed in H-band with VLTI/PIONIER
Steve Ertel, Olivier Absil, Denis Defrere +8
Context. Detecting and characterizing circumstellar dust is a way to study the architecture and evolution of planetary systems. Cold dust in debris disks only traces the outer regi…
Searching for faint companions with VLTI/PIONIER. II. 92 main sequence stars from the Exozodi survey
Lindsay Marion, Olivier Absil, Steve Ertel +6
The Exozodi survey aims to determine the occurrence rate of bright exozodiacal discs around nearby main sequence stars using infrared interferometry. Although the Exozodi survey ta…
Discovery of a Companion Candidate in the HD169142 Transition Disk and the Possibility of Multiple Planet Formation
Maddalena Reggiani, Sascha P. Quanz, Michael R. Meyer +14
We present L' and J-band high-contrast observations of HD169142, obtained with the VLT/NACO AGPM vector vortex coronagraph and the Gemini Planet Imager, respectively. A source loca…
Fundamental limitations of high contrast imaging set by small sample statistics
Dimitri Mawet, Julien Milli, Zahed Wahhaj +9
In this paper, we review the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high contrast imaging at small angles. When look…
New constraints on the dust surrounding HR 4796A
Julien Milli, Dimitri Mawet, Christophe Pinte +7
HR 4796A is surrounded by a well-structured and very bright circumstellar disc shaped like an annulus with many interesting features: very sharp inner and outer edges, brightness a…
