The HOSTS Survey: Suspected variable dust emission and constraints on companions around θ Boo
G. Garreau, D. Defrère, S. Ertel +23
During the HOSTS survey by the LBTI, an excess emission from the main sequence star θ Boo (F7V spectral type, 14.5pc distance) was observed. This excess indicates the presence of…
GRIP: a generic data reduction package for nulling interferometry
Marc-Antoine Martinod, Denis Defrere, Romain Laugier +4
Nulling interferometry is a powerful observing technique to study exoplanets and circumstellar dust at separations too small for direct imaging with single-dish telescopes. With re…
Review and prospects of hot exozodiacal dust research for future exo-Earth direct imaging missions
Steve Ertel, Tim D. Pearce, John H. Debes +12
Hot exozodiacal dust is dust in the innermost regions of planetary systems, at temperatures around 1000K to 2000K, and commonly detected by near-infrared interferometry. The phenom…
Advancing European High-Contrast Imaging R&D Towards the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Iva Laginja, Ãscar Carrión-González, Romain Laugier +31
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will enable a transformative leap in the direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. For this, NASA is focusing on early in…
