The Near-Infrared Size-Luminosity Relations for Herbig Ae/Be Disks
- J. Monnier, R. Millan-Gabet, G. V. van Belle
- Physics
- 12 February 2005
We report the results of a sensitive K-band survey of Herbig Ae/Be disk sizes using the 85 m baseline Keck Interferometer. Targets were chosen to span the maximum range of stellar properties to probe…
New Debris Disks around Nearby Main-Sequence Stars: Impact on the Direct Detection of Planets

HIGH-DYNAMIC-RANGE IMAGING USING A DEFORMABLE MIRROR FOR SPACE CORONOGRAPHY
The need for high dynamic range imaging is crucial in many astronomical fields, such as extra-solar planet direct detection, extra-galactic science and circumstellar imaging. Using a high quality…
Scientific motivation and technology requirements for the SPIRIT and SPECS far-infrared/submillimeter space interferometers
