THE ASTRALUX LARGE M-DWARF MULTIPLICITY SURVEY
- M. Janson, F. Hormuth, T. Henning
- Physics, Geology
- 21 May 2012
We present the results of an extensive high-resolution imaging survey of M-dwarf multiplicity using the Lucky Imaging technique. The survey made use of the AstraLux Norte camera at the Calar Alto 2.2…
Binarity of transit host stars - Implications for planetary parameters
- S. Daemgen, F. Hormuth, T. Henning
- Physics, Geology
- 12 February 2009
Context. Straight-forward derivation of planetary parameters can only be achieved in transiting planetary systems. However, planetary attributes such as radius and mass strongly depend on stellar…
DISCOVERY OF SMALL-SCALE SPIRAL STRUCTURES IN THE DISK OF SAO 206462 (HD 135344B): IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PHYSICAL STATE OF THE DISK FROM SPIRAL DENSITY WAVE THEORY
We present high-resolution, H-band imaging observations, collected with Subaru/HiCIAO, of the scattered light from the transitional disk around SAO 206462 (HD 135344B). Although previous sub-mm…
Stellar companions to exoplanet host stars: Lucky Imaging of transiting planet hosts
- C. Bergfors, W. Brandner, R. Kohler
- Physics, Geology
- 18 September 2012
Observed properties of stars and planets in binary/multiple star systems provide clues to planet formation and evolution. We extended our survey for visual stellar companions to the hosts of…
Lucky Imaging survey for southern M dwarf binaries
- C. Bergfors, W. Brandner, R. Kohler
- Physics, Geology
- 11 June 2010
Context. While M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the Milky Way, there is still large uncertainty about their basic physical properties (mass, luminosity, radius, etc.) as well as their…
IMAGES OF THE EXTENDED OUTER REGIONS OF THE DEBRIS RING AROUND HR 4796 A
- C. Thalmann, M. Janson, Sendai
- Physics, Geology
- 11 October 2011
We present high-contrast images of HR 4796 A taken with Subaru/HiCIAO in the H band, resolving the debris disk in scattered light. The application of specialized angular differential imaging methods…
Orbital and atmospheric characterization of the planet within the gap of the PDS 70 transition disk
- A. Muller, M. Keppler, A. Zurlo
- Physics, GeologyAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 29 June 2018
Context. The observation of planets in their formation stage is a crucial but very challenging step in understanding when, how, and where planets form. PDS 70 is a young pre-main sequence star…
DIRECT IMAGING OF A COLD JOVIAN EXOPLANET IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN-LIKE STAR GJ 504
- M. Kuzuhara, M. Tamura, T. Usuda
- Physics, Geology
- 10 July 2013
Several exoplanets have recently been imaged at wide separations of >10 AU from their parent stars. These span a limited range of ages (<50 Myr) and atmospheric properties, with temperatures of…
DIRECT IMAGING OF FINE STRUCTURES IN GIANT PLANET-FORMING REGIONS OF THE PROTOPLANETARY DISK AROUND AB AURIGAE
- J. Hashimoto, M. Tamura, T. Usuda
- Physics, Geology
- 22 February 2011
We report high-resolution 1.6 μm polarized intensity (PI) images of the circumstellar disk around the Herbig Ae star AB Aur at a radial distance of 22 AU (0.″15) up to 554 AU (3.″85), which have been…
INFRARED NON-DETECTION OF FOMALHAUT b: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PLANET INTERPRETATION
- M. Janson, J. Carson, D. Lafreniére, D. Spiegel, J. Bent, P. Wong
- Physics, Geology
- 20 January 2012
The nearby A4-type star Fomalhaut hosts a debris belt in the form of an eccentric ring, which is thought to be caused by dynamical influence from a giant planet companion. In 2008, a detection of a…
