Short life and abrupt death of PicSat, a small 3U CubeSat dreaming of exoplanet detection
Mathias Nowak, Sylvestre Lacour, Antoine Crouzier +3
PicSat was a three unit CubeSat (measuring 30 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) which was developed to monitor the beta Pictoris system. The main science objective was the detection of a possibl…
A Compact and Lightweight Fibered Photometer for the PicSat Mission
Mathias Nowak, Sylvestre Lacour, Vicent Lapeyrère +5
PicSat is a nanosatellite developed to observe the transit of the giant planet beta Pictoris b, expected in late 2017. Its science objectives are: the observation of the transit of…
A resolved and asymmetric ring of PAHs within the young circumstellar disk of IRS 48
Guillaume Schworer, Sylvestre Lacour, Nuria Huélamo +6
For one decade, the spectral-type and age of the Oph object IRS-48 were subject to debates and mysteries. Modelling its disk with mid-infrared to millimeter observations led to…
Predicting exoplanet observability in time, contrast, separation and polarization, in scattered light
Guillaume Schworer, Peter G. Tuthill
Polarimetry is one of the keys to enhanced direct imaging of exoplanets. Not only does it deliver a differential observable providing extra contrast, but when coupled with spectros…
