HIP 65426 b is a recently discovered exoplanet imaged during the course of the SPHERE-SHINE survey. Here we present new and observations of the planet from the NACO instr…
Mapping of shadows cast on a protoplanetary disk by a close binary system
V. D'Orazi, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +47
For a comprehensive understanding of planetary formation and evolution, we need to investigate the environment in which planets form: circumstellar disks. Here we present high-cont…

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…
The GJ 504 system revisited. Combining interferometric, radial velocity, and high contrast imaging data
M. Bonnefoy, K. Perraut, A. -M. Lagrange +79
The G-type star GJ504A is known to host a 3 to 35 MJup companion whose temperature, mass, and projected separation all contribute to make it a test case for the planet formation th…
Orbital and atmospheric characterization of the planet within the gap of the PDS 70 transition disk
A. Müller, M. Keppler, Th. Henning +43
Aims: We aim to characterize the orbital and atmospheric properties of PDS 70 b, which was first identified on May 2015 in the course of the SHINE survey with SPHERE, the extreme a…
Imaging radial velocity planets with SPHERE
A. Zurlo, D. Mesa, S. Desidera +37
We present observations with the planet finder SPHERE of a selected sample of the most promising radial velocity (RV) companions for high-contrast imaging. Using a Monte Carlo simu…
The gravitational mass of Proxima Centauri measured with SPHERE from a microlensing event
A. Zurlo, R. Gratton, D. Mesa +19
Proxima Centauri, our closest stellar neighbour, is a low-mass M5 dwarf orbiting in a triple system. An Earth-mass planet with an 11 day period has been discovered around this star…
High-contrast imaging of HD 163296 with the Keck/NIRC2 L'-band vortex coronograph
G. Guidi, G. Ruane, J. P. Williams +16
We present observations of the nearby (D100\,pc) Herbig star HD~163296 taken with the vortex coronograph at Keck/NIRC2 in the L' band (3.7~m), to search for planetary mass…
Characterization of low-mass companion HD 142527 B
V. Christiaens, S. Casassus, O. Absil +10
The circumstellar disk of the Herbig Fe star HD 142527 is host to several remarkable features including a warped inner disk, a 120 au-wide annular gap, a prominent dust trap and se…
Orbital and spectral analysis of the benchmark brown dwarf HD 4747B
S. Peretti, D. Ségransan, B. Lavie +43
The study of high contrast imaged brown dwarfs and exoplanets depends strongly on evolutionary models. To estimate the mass of a directly imaged substellar object, its extracted ph…
Astrometric and photometric accuracies in high contrast imaging: The SPHERE speckle calibration tool (SpeCal)

The consortium of the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch installed at the Very Large Telescope (SPHERE/VLT) has been operating its guaranteed observation time (2…
New disk discovered with VLT/SPHERE around the M star GSC 07396-00759
E. Sissa, J. Olofsson, A. Vigan +30
Debris disks are usually detected through the infrared excess over the photospheric level of their host star. The most favorable stars for disk detection are those with spectral ty…
