Searching for Embedded Protoplanets with the Keck/NIRC2 Vortex Coronagraph: Confirmation of a Core-accretion Planet in the Narrow Gap of the Elias 2-24 Disk

Andrea Bernardi, Alice Zurlo, Lucas A. Cieza +8

We present high-contrast imaging observations of seven stars obtained with the Keck/NIRC2 vortex coronagraph between 2018 May and June in the and bands. All targets host…

A fifth companion in the HR 8799 system revealed by Gaia

A. -M. Lagrange, K. Gozdziewski, F. Kiefer +5

HR 8799 is the benchmark young multi-planet system, hosting four directly imaged giant planets orbiting between a warm inner belt and a cold outer debris ring. However, the few-au…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

SaNDi-SHoP: Searching for Satellites'N'Disks with a Star-Hopping Program II. Spectrophotometric analysis and orbital monitoring of directly imaged companions

Andrea Bernardi, Alice Zurlo, Cecilia Lazzoni +6

Over the past decade, advances in high-contrast imaging instrumentation, coupled with extreme adaptive optics systems, have enabled the discovery of tens of planets and brown dwarf…

Planetary-Mass Exosatellite Detected Around the Substellar Companion of a Star

Kevin Hoy, Alice Zurlo, Pablo A. Peña R. +10

Despite more than 6000 exoplanets being discovered to date, no satellite orbiting an exoplanet, an exomoon, has ever been confidently detected. While there are some candidates, the…

The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE) V. Full sample characterization

V. Squicciarini, S. Desidera, G. Chauvin +109

Unbiased surveys of large stellar samples are the prime means through which the prevalence of exoplanets can be derived, and crucial constraints to planet formation models can be s…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems. VII. Molecular Mapping Performance with JWST/MIRI MRS: VHS 1256 b as a case study

Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Benjamin Charnay +29

VHS 1256 b was the first planetary-mass companion to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (JWST/MIRI) using the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer…

The Ophiuchus DIsc Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA). Substructures as a function of SED Class and disc mass in 100 systems

Trisha Bhowmik, Lucas Cieza, J. M. Miley +17

Current high-resolution studies of protoplanetary discs are biased toward small samples of the brightest (flux > 50 mJy at 225 GHz) and largest systems. We present a complete flux-…

SaNDi-SHoP: Searching for Satellites'N'Disks with a Star-Hopping Program I. Analysis of the close surroundings of DI companions

Cecilia Lazzoni, Alice Zurlo, Silvano Desidera +6

We aim to search for satellites and circumplanetary or circumsubstellar disks around directly imaged substellar companions, exploring their immediate environment to constrain the c…
