Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light Years from Earth
Paul Kalas, James R. Graham, Eugene Chiang +6
Fomalhaut is a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light years) from Earth that harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet.…
First Steps in Direct Imaging of Planetary Systems Like our Own: The Science Potential of 2-m Class Optical Space Telescopes
Karl Stapelfeldt, John Trauger, Weslay Traub +4
We summarize the scientific potential of high contrast optical space imaging for studies of extrasolar planets, debris disks, and planet formation. The unique scientific capabiliti…
HD 97048's Circumstellar Environment as Revealed by a HST/ACS Coronagraphic Study of Disk Candidate Stars
R. L. Doering, M. Meixner, S. T. Holfeltz +5
We present the results of a coronagraphic scattered-light imaging survey of six young disk candidate stars using the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys. The observa…
HST/ACS Coronagraphic Imaging of the AU Microscopii Debris Disk
John E. Krist, D. R. Ardila, D. A. Golimowski +5
We present {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Advanced Camera for Surveys multicolor coronagraphic images of the recently discovered edge-on debris disk around the nearby ( pc) M…
Calibration of Geometric Distortion in the ACS Detectors
G. R. Meurer, D. Lindler, J. P. Blakeslee +9
The off-axis location of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is the chief (but not sole) cause of strong geometric distortion in all detectors: the Wide Field Camera (WFC), High…
