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…
The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system: enabling high-contrast imaging on solar-system scales
N. Jovanovic, F. Martinache, O. Guyon +35
The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument is a multipurpose high-contrast imaging platform designed for the discovery and detailed characterization of ex…
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…
The VAMPIRES instrument: Imaging the innermost regions of protoplanetary disks with polarimetric interferometry
Barnaby Norris, Peter Tuthill, Nemanja Jovanovic +4
Direct imaging of protoplanetary disks promises to provide key insight into the complex sequence of processes by which planets are formed. However imaging the innermost region of s…
