Direct Imaging of Multiple Planets Orbiting the Star HR 8799
- C. Marois, B. Macintosh, +5 authors R. Doyon
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 16 November 2008
Direct imaging of exoplanetary systems is a powerful technique that can reveal Jupiter-like planets in wide orbits, can enable detailed characterization of planetary atmospheres, and is a key step… Expand
Angular Differential Imaging: a Powerful High-Contrast Imaging Technique
- C. Marois, D. Lafrenìere, R. Doyon, B. Macintosh, D. Nadeau
- Physics
- 13 December 2005
Angular differential imaging is a high-contrast imaging technique that reduces speckle noise from quasi-static optical aberrations and facilitates the detection of faint nearby companions. A sequence… Expand
Images of a fourth planet orbiting HR 8799
- C. Marois, B. Zuckerman, Q. Konopacky, B. Macintosh, T. Barman
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 22 November 2010
High-contrast near-infrared imaging of the nearby star HR 8799 has shown three giant planets. Such images were possible because of the wide orbits (>25 astronomical units, where 1 au is the Earth–Sun… Expand
A New Algorithm for Point-Spread Function Subtraction in High-Contrast Imaging: A Demonstration with Angular Differential Imaging*
- D. Lafrenìere, C. Marois, R. Doyon, D. Nadeau, É. Artigau
- Physics
- 26 February 2007
Direct imaging of exoplanets is limited by bright quasi-static speckles in the point-spread function (PSF) of the central star. This limitation can be reduced by subtraction of reference PSF images.… Expand
Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light-Years from Earth
Fomalhaut, a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light-years) from Earth, harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet. Here, we present optical… Expand
The Gemini Deep Planet Survey
- D. Lafrenìere, R. Doyon, +10 authors R. Racine
- Physics
- 29 May 2007
We present the results of the Gemini Deep Planet Survey, a near-infrared adaptive optics search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around 85 nearby young stars. The observations were obtained with… Expand
First light of the Gemini Planet Imager
- B. Macintosh, J. R. Graham, +44 authors S. Wolff
- Physics, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 12 May 2014
Significance Direct detection—spatially resolving the light of a planet from the light of its parent star—is an important technique for characterizing exoplanets. It allows observations of giant… Expand
Clouds and Chemistry in the Atmosphere of Extrasolar Planet HR8799b
- T. Barman, B. Macintosh, Q. Konopacky, C. Marois
- Physics
- 20 March 2011
Using the integral field spectrograph OSIRIS, on the Keck II telescope, broad near-infrared H- and K-band spectra of the young exoplanet HR8799b have been obtained. In addition, six new narrowband… Expand
Discovery and spectroscopy of the young jovian planet 51 Eri b with the Gemini Planet Imager
- B. Macintosh, J. R. Graham, +85 authors B. Zuckerman
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 12 August 2015
An exoplanet extracted from the bright Direct imaging of Jupiter-like exoplanets around young stars provides a glimpse into how our solar system formed. The brightness of young stars requires the use… Expand
THE YOUNG PLANET-MASS OBJECT 2M1207b: A COOL, CLOUDY, AND METHANE-POOR ATMOSPHERE
- T. Barman, B. Macintosh, Q. Konopacky, C. Marois
- Physics
- 6 June 2011
The properties of 2M1207b, a young (~8?Myr) planet-mass companion, have lacked a satisfactory explanation for some time. The combination of low luminosity, red near-IR colors, and L-type near-IR… Expand
