Updating the SCExAO/CHARIS polarimetric calibration following the Nasmyth beam-switcher upgrade
Thomas McIntosh, Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis +18
Subaru/SCExAO/CHARIS enables near-infrared integral field spectropolarimetry. Quantitative polarimetry is useful for a variety of science cases, particularly measurements related t…
Revealing α-Element's Past with Subaru/IRD: Oxygen Abundance of 35 Very Metal-Poor Stars from Near-IR OH lines
Bakuh Danang Setyo Budi, Wako Aoki, Nicholas Storm +10
Oxygen abundances in very and extremely metal-poor (V/EMP) stars provide critical constraints on early massive stars' nucleosynthesis. An Oxygen abundance analysis is presented for…
The mass of TOI-1883 b: A low density super-Neptune in the ridge regime transiting an early-M dwarf
Izuru Fukuda, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +36
Recent large-scale transit surveys conducted by space telescopes such as Kepler and TESS have revealed a vast number of exoplanets, uncovering the diversity of their population. On…
Time-variable Scattered Light in Herbig Disks Observed with Subaru/SCExAO
Camryn Mullin, Miles Lucas, Ruobing Dong +12
Using the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument, we present near-infrared K-band polarimetric imaging of nine Herbig stars selected from a volume-limited…
Dynamical Analysis of the HD 169142 Planet-Forming Disk: Twelve Years of High-Contrast Polarimetry
Miles Lucas, Michael Bottom, Ruobing Dong +19
We present a dynamical analysis of the HD 169142 planet-forming disk based on high-contrast polarimetric imaging over a twelve-year observational period, offering insights into its…
Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program II; Discovery of a Brown-dwarf Companion around a Nearby mid-M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633
Taichi Uyama, Masayuki Kuzuhara, Charles Beichman +35
We report the discovery of a new directly-imaged brown dwarf companion with Keck/NIRC2+pyWFS around a nearby mid-type M~dwarf LSPM~J1446+4633 (hereafter J1446). The -band contr…
