Simulating Zernike-based CWFSing with HCIPy
Klaus Subbotina Stephenson, Kate Jackson
This work explores optimal sensing distances in Zernike-based Curvature WaveFront Sensing (CWFS). By using HCIPy, an open-source Python package, we simulate the first 100 Zernike m…
JWST NIRCam Reveals the Largest Known M-dwarf Debris Disk Around TWA 10 and New Scattered-Light Observations of the TWA 25 Debris Disk
Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Beth Biller +26
We present JWST NIRCam observations of two M-dwarf systems located in the TW Hydra association, TWA 10 and TWA 25. Both systems harbor detected debris disks in the F200W and F444W…
Discovery of a Debris Disk Around TWA 20
Skyler Palatnick, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, Jingwen Zhang +20
We report the discovery of a debris disk surrounding the M3 star, TWA 20, revealed by JWST coronagraphic observations using the Near-infrared Camera (NIRCam). With reference-star d…
On the Detection of Exorings in Reflected Light with JWST NIRCam
Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Mary Anne Limbach, Sam Hopper +4
When directly imaging a cold giant exoplanet hosting a ring system, the reflected light from the rings can outshine the planet's thermal emission and reflected-light in the near-in…
Follow-Up Exploration of the TWA 7 Planet-Disk System with JWST NIRCam
Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Kellen Lawson +39
The young M-star TWA 7 hosts a bright and near face-on debris disk, which has been imaged from the optical to the submillimeter. The disk displays multiple complex substructures su…
