Schmid,Eric Stadler,Christian Thalmann,Massimo Turatto,Stéphane Udry,Farrokh Vakili,Rens Waters +42 more
TL;DR: The SPHERE instrument as discussed by the authors was designed for direct detection and spectral characterization of extra-solar planets, where the main challenge consists in the very large contrast between the host star and the planet, typically inside the seeing halo.

TL;DR: High-contrast imaging reveals a series of five large-scale features in the southeast side of the debris disk that appear to move away from the star at projected speeds of 4–10 kilometres per second, suggesting highly eccentric or unbound trajectories if they are associated with physical entities.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the first near infrared (NIR) spatially resolved images of the circumstellar transitional disk around SR21 were obtained with the Subaru HiCIAO camera, adaptive optics, and the polarized differential imaging technique.

SPHERE ZIMPOL: overview and performance simulation
Christian Thalmann,Hans Martin Schmid,Anthony Boccaletti,David Mouillet,Kjetil Dohlen,Ronald Roelfsema,Marcel Carbillet,D. Gisler,Jean-Luc Beuzit,Markus Feldt,Raffaele Gratton,F. Joos,Christoph U. Keller,Jan Kragt,Johan Pragt,Pascal Puget,F. Rigal,Frans Snik,Rens Waters,Francois Wildi +19 more
TL;DR: The ZIMPOL instrument as mentioned in this paper is a single-beam polarimeter that achieves very high polarimetric accuracy using fast polarization modulation and demodulating CCD detectors, which can detect Jupiter-sized planets in close orbit around the brightest nearby stars.
