Deep HST/STIS Coronagraphic Imaging of the Pictoris Debris Disk: On the Scattered Light Component of the Cat's Tail
Arin M. Avsar, Kevin Wagner, Daniel Apai +6
The Pictoris debris disk is a unique system where mid-infrared coronagraphic imaging with JWST/MIRI revealed a new spatially resolved substructure known as the Cat's Tail. We p…
The JWST/NIRCam Scattered Light Disks GTO 2780 program: panchromatic coronagraphic imaging of the HD 10647, HD 32297, HD 61005, HD 107146, and HD 181327 debris disk systems
András Gáspár, Jarron M. Leisenring, Schuyler Grace Wolff +13
Debris disks, composed of rocks, boulders, planetesimals, and the dust produced in their collisions, present the most readily observable components of mature planetary systems. The…
Forecasting Catastrophe: Constraints on the Fomalhaut Main Belt Planetesimal Population from Observed Collisional Remnants
Arin M. Avsar, Kevin Wagner, Dániel Apai +2
Catastrophic planetesimal disruptions offer a unique opportunity to study and characterize large planetesimal populations in exoplanetary systems that are not currently detectable…
Theory of Exozodi Sources and Dust Evolution
Mark C. Wyatt, Tim D. Pearce, Nicole Pawellek +5
Exozodiacal dust disks (exozodis) are populations of warm (~300K) or hot (~1000K) dust, located in or interior to a star's habitable zone, detected around ~25% of main-sequence sta…
A Search for Collisions and Planet-Disk Interactions in the Beta Pictoris Disk with 26 Years of High Precision HST/STIS Imaging
Arin M. Avsar, Kevin Wagner, Dániel Apai +2
Beta Pictoris (Beta Pic)'s well-studied debris disk and two known giant planets, in combination with the stability of HST/STIS (and now also JWST), offers a unique opportunity to t…
Deepest limits on scattered light emission from the Epsilon Eridani inner debris disk with HST/STIS
Sai Krishanth P. M., Ewan S. Douglas, Ramya M. Anche +9
Epsilon Eridani ( Eri) is one of the first debris disk systems detected by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). However, the system has thus far eluded detection in scatt…
MIRI MRS Observations of Beta Pictoris II. The Spectroscopic Case for a Recent Giant Collision
Christine H. Chen, Cicero X. Lu, Kadin Worthen +17
Modeling observations of the archetypal debris disk around Pic, obtained in 2023 January with the MIRI MRS on board JWST, reveals significant differences compared with that obt…
JWST-TST High Contrast: JWST/NIRCam observations of the young giant planet Pic b
Jens Kammerer, Kellen Lawson, Marshall D. Perrin +14
We present the first JWST/NIRCam observations of the directly-imaged gas giant exoplanet Pic b. Observations in six filters using NIRCam's round coronagraphic masks provide a h…
A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager II: Constraints on Dust Density Distribution Using Empirically-Informed Scattering Phase Functions
Justin Hom, Jennifer Patience, Christine H. Chen +40
Spatially-resolved images of debris disks are necessary to determine disk morphological properties and the scattering phase function (SPF) which quantifies the brightness of scatte…
MIRI MRS Observations of Beta Pictoris I. The Inner Dust, the Planet, and the Gas
Kadin Worthen, Christine H. Chen, David R. Law +15
We present JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the Pictoris system. We detect an infrared excess from the central unresolved point source from 5 to 7…
JWST-TST High Contrast: Asymmetries, dust populations and hints of a collision in the Pictoris disk with NIRCam and MIRI
Isabel Rebollido, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer +21
We present the first JWST MIRI and NIRCam observations of the prominent debris disk around Beta Pictoris. Coronagraphic observations in 8 filters spanning from 1.8 to 23~m provi…
A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager I: An Empirical Search for Perturbations from Planetary Companions in Polarized Light Images
Katie A. Crotts, Brenda C. Matthews, Gaspard Duchêne +37
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) has excelled in imaging debris disks in the near-infrared. The GPI Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) imaged twenty-four debris disks in polarized -band lig…
A LOFAR mini-survey for low-frequency radio emission from the nearest brown dwarfs
Ben Burningham, M. Hardcastle, J. D. Nichols +9
We have conducted a mini-survey for low-frequency radio emission from some of the closest brown dwarfs to the Sun with rapid rotation rates: SIMP J013656.5+093347, WISEPC J150649.9…
Exocometary gas in the HD 181327 debris ring
S. Marino, L. Matra, C. Stark +14
An increasing number of observations have shown that gaseous debris discs are not an exception. However, until now we only knew of cases around A stars. Here we present the first d…
Probing for Exoplanets Hiding in Dusty Debris Disks: Disk Imaging, Characterization, and Exploration with HST/STIS Multi-Roll Coronagraphy
Glenn Schneider, Carol A. Grady, Dean C. Hines +16
Spatially resolved scattered-light images of circumstellar (CS) debris in exoplanetary systems constrain the physical properties and orbits of the dust particles in these systems.…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
