The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE)- I Sample definition and target characterization
S. Desidera, G. Chauvin, M. Bonavita +105
Large surveys with new-generation high-contrast imaging instruments are needed to derive the frequency and properties of exoplanet populations with separations from 5 to 300…
A single-armed spiral in the protoplanetary disk around HD34282 ?
J. de Boer, C. Ginski, G. Chauvin +17
During the evolution of protoplanetary disks into planetary systems we expect to detect signatures that trace mechanisms such as planet-disk interaction. Protoplanetary disks displ…
HD 117214 debris disk: scattered-light images and constraints on the presence of planets
N. Engler, C. Lazzoni, R. Gratton +34
We performed observations of the Sco-Cen F star HD 117214 aiming at a search for planetary companions and the characterization of the debris disk structure. HD 117214 was observed…
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…
Astrometric and photometric accuracies in high contrast imaging: The SPHERE speckle calibration tool (SpeCal)
R. Galicher, A. Boccaletti, D. Mesa +21
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…
Discovery of a brown dwarf companion to the star HIP 64892
A. Cheetham, M. Bonnefoy, S. Desidera +89
We report the discovery of a bright, brown dwarf companion to the star HIP 64892, imaged with VLT/SPHERE during the SHINE exoplanet survey. The host is a B9.5V member of the Lower-…
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…
Investigation of the inner structures around HD169142 with VLT/SPHERE
R. Ligi, A. Vigan, R. Gratton +47
We present observations of the Herbig Ae star HD169142 with VLT/SPHERE instruments InfraRed Dual-band Imager and Spectrograph (IRDIS) ( and bands) and the Integral Fie…
Orbiting a binary: SPHERE characterisation of the HD 284149 system
Mariangela Bonavita, V. D'Orazi, D. Mesa +52
In this paper we present the results of the SPHERE observation of the HD 284149 system, aimed at a more detailed characterisation of both the primary and its brown dwarf companion.…
Discovery of a warm, dusty giant planet around HIP65426
G. Chauvin, S. Desidera, A. -M. Lagrange +120
The SHINE program is a large high-contrast near-infrared survey of 600 young, nearby stars. It is aimed at searching for and characterizing new planetary systems using VLT/SPHERE's…
On-sky demonstration of matched filters for wavefront measurements using ELT-scale elongated laser guide stars
A. G. Basden, L. Bardou, D. Bonaccini Calia +18
The performance of adaptive optics systems is partially dependant on the algorithms used within the real-time control system to compute wavefront slope measurements. We demonstrate…
