SPHERE dynamical and spectroscopic characterization of HD142527B
R. Claudi, A. -L. Maire, D. Mesa +50
We detect the accreting low-mass companion HD142527B at a separation of 73 mas (11.4 au) from the star. No other companions with mass greater than 10 MJ are visible in the field of…
A search for accreting young companions embedded in circumstellar disks: High-contrast H imaging with VLT/SPHERE
G. Cugno, S. P. Quanz, S. Hunziker +37
Aims: We want to detect and quantify observables related to accretion processes occurring locally in circumstellar disks, which could be attributed to young forming planets. We foc…
Mapping of shadows cast on a protoplanetary disk by a close binary system
V. D'Orazi, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +47
For a comprehensive understanding of planetary formation and evolution, we need to investigate the environment in which planets form: circumstellar disks. Here we present high-cont…
SPHERE / ZIMPOL high resolution polarimetric imager. I. System overview, PSF parameters, coronagraphy, and polarimetry
H. M. Schmid, A. Bazzon, R. Roelfsema +59
We describe the Zurich Imaging Polarimeter (ZIMPOL), the visual focal plane subsystem of the SPHERE "VLT planet finder", which pushes the limits of current AO systems to shorter wa…
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…
SPHERE on-sky performance compared with budget predictions
Kjetil Dohlen, Arthur Vigan, David Mouillet +21
The SPHERE (spectro-photometric exoplanet research) extreme-AO planet hunter saw first light at the VLT observatory on Mount Paranal in May 2014 after ten years of development. Gre…
The GJ 504 system revisited. Combining interferometric, radial velocity, and high contrast imaging data
M. Bonnefoy, K. Perraut, A. -M. Lagrange +79
The G-type star GJ504A is known to host a 3 to 35 MJup companion whose temperature, mass, and projected separation all contribute to make it a test case for the planet formation th…
Dynamical masses of M-dwarf binaries in young moving groups: I - The case of TWA 22 and GJ 2060
L. Rodet, M. Bonnefoy, S. Durkan +48
Evolutionary models are widely used to infer the mass of stars, brown dwarfs, and giant planets. Their predictions are thought to be less reliable at young ages ( 200 Myr) and i…
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-…
Dust modeling of the combined ALMA and SPHERE datasets of HD163296. Is HD163296 really a Meeus group II disk?
G. A. Muro-Arena, C. Dominik, L. B. F. M. Waters +20
Context. Multi-wavelength observations are indispensable in studying disk geometry and dust evolution processes in protoplanetary disks. Aims. We aimed to construct a 3-dimensional…
