A deep search for planets in the inner 15 au around Vega

Tiffany Meshkat, Ricky Nilsson, Jonathan Aguilar +12

We present the results of a deep high-contrast imaging search for planets around Vega. Vega is an ideal target for high-contrast imaging because it is bright, nearby, and young wit…

Project 1640 Observations of the White Dwarf HD 114174 B

E. Bacchus, I. R. Parry, R. Oppenheimer +24

We present the first near infra-red spectrum of the faint white dwarf companion HD 114174 B, obtained with Project 1640. Our spectrum, covering the Y, J and H bands, combined with…

Project 1640 Observations of Brown Dwarf GJ 758 B: Near-Infrared Spectrum and Atmospheric Modeling

R. Nilsson, A. Veicht, P. A. Giorla Godfrey +23

The nearby Sun-like star GJ 758 hosts a cold substellar companion, GJ 758 B, at a projected separation of 30 AU, previously detected in high-contrast multi-band photometr…

Characterization of the Companion to Her

Lewis C. Roberts, Brian D. Mason, Jonathan Aguilar +24

Her is a nearby quadruple system with a G-subgiant primary and several low mass companions arranged in a 2+2 architecture. While the BC components have been well characterized,…

Know the Star, Know the Planet. V. Characterization of the Stellar Companion to the Exoplanet Host HD 177830

Lewis C. Roberts, Rebecca Oppenheimer, Justin R. Crepp +21

HD 177830 is an evolved K0IV star with two known exoplanets. In addition to the planetary companions it has a late-type stellar companion discovered with adaptive optics imagery. W…

Direct Spectrum of the Benchmark T dwarf HD 19467 B

Justin R. Crepp, Emily L. Rice, AAron Veicht +18

HD 19467 B is presently the only directly imaged T dwarf companion known to induce a measurable Doppler acceleration around a solar type star. We present spectroscopy measurements…

The Kappa Andromedae System: New Constraints on the Companion Mass, System Age & Further Multiplicity

Sasha Hinkley, Laurent Pueyo, Jacqueline K. Faherty +29

Kappa Andromedae is a B9IVn star at 52 pc for which a faint substellar companion separated by 55 AU was recently announced. In this work, we present the first spectrum of the compa…

High Resolution Infrared Imaging & Spectroscopy of the Z Canis Majoris System During Quiescence & Outburst

Sasha Hinkley, Lynne Hillenbrand, Ben R. Oppenheimer +21

We present adaptive optics photometry and spectra in the JHKL-bands along with high spectral resolution K-band spectroscopy for each component of the Z Canis Majoris system. Our hi…

Spectral Typing of Late Type Stellar Companions to Young Stars from Low Dispersion Near-Infrared Integral Field Unit Data

Lewis C. Roberts, Emily L. Rice, Charles A. Beichman +22

We used the Project 1640 near-infrared coronagraph and integral field spectrograph to observe 19 young solar type stars. Five of these stars are known binary stars and we detected…

A New High Contrast Imaging Program at Palomar Observatory

Sasha Hinkley, Ben R. Oppenheimer, Neil Zimmerman +19

We describe a new instrument that forms the core of a long-term high contrast imaging program at the 200-inch Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. The primary scientific thrust i…
