The polarimetric imaging mode of VLT/SPHERE/IRDIS I: Description, data reduction and observing strategy
J. de Boer, M. Langlois, R. G. van Holstein +31
Context. Polarimetric imaging is one of the most effective techniques for high-contrast imaging and characterization of protoplanetary disks, and has the potential to be instrument…
Two accreting protoplanets around the young star PDS 70
S. Y. Haffert, A. J. Bohn, J. de Boer +5
Newly forming proto-planets are expected to create cavities and substructures in young, gas-rich proto-planetary disks, but they are difficult to detect as they could be confused w…
Spatial segregation of dust grains in transition disks. SPHERE observations of 2MASS J16083070-3828268 and RXJ1852.3-3700
M. Villenave, M. Benisty, W. R. F. Dent +27
Context. The mechanisms governing the opening of cavities in transition disks are not fully understood. Several processes have been proposed but their occurrence rate is still unkn…
Shadows and asymmetries in the T Tauri disk HD 143006: Evidence for a misaligned inner disk
M. Benisty, A. Juhasz, S. Facchini +13
While planet formation is thought to occur early in the history of a protoplanetary disk, the presence of planets embedded in disks, or of other processes driving disk evolution, m…
High-Contrast study of the candidate planets and protoplanetary disk around HD~100546
E. Sissa, R. Gratton, A. Garufi +62
The nearby Herbig Be star HD100546 is known to be a laboratory for the study of protoplanets and their relation with the circumstellar disk that is carved by at least 2 gaps. We ob…
Discovery of a planetary-mass companion within the gap of the transition disk around PDS 70
M. Keppler, M. Benisty, A. Müller +123
Young circumstellar disks are of prime interest to understand the physical and chemical conditions under which planet formation takes place. Only very few detections of planet cand…
First direct detection of a polarized companion outside of a resolved circumbinary disk around CS Cha

In the present study we aim to investigate the circumstellar environment of the spectroscopic binary T Tauri star CS Cha. From unresolved mid- to far-infrared photometry it is pred…
First scattered light detection of a nearly edge-on transition disk around the T Tauri star RY Lup
M. Langlois, A. Pohl, A. -M. Lagrange +41
Transition disks are considered sites of ongoing planet formation, and their dust and gas distributions could be signposts of embedded planets. The transition disk around the T Tau…
