Discovery and spectroscopy of the young Jovian planet 51 Eri b with the Gemini Planet Imager

Bruce Macintosh, +94 more
- 02 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using the Gemini Planet Imager, a Jupiter-like planet is discovered orbiting the ~20-million-year-old star 51 Eridani at a projected separation of 13 astronomical units and has a methane signature and is probably the smallest exoplanet that has been directly imaged.
Journal ArticleDOI

The W. M. Keck Observatory Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics System: Overview

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the conceptual approach and technical implementation followed for this system, including lessons learned, and provide an overview of the early science capabilities of the adaptive optics system.
Journal ArticleDOI

First Light Adaptive Optics Images from the Keck II Telescope : A New Era of High Angular Resolution Imagery

TL;DR: Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology that corrects in real time for the blurring effects of atmospheric turbulence, in principle allowing Earthbound telescopes to achieve their diffraction limit and to see as clearly as if they were in space as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and spectroscopy of the young Jovian planet 51 Eri b with the Gemini Planet Imager

Bruce Macintosh, +94 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gemini Planet Imager was used to detect a planet orbiting the star 51 Eridani at a projected separation of 13 astronomical units, with a spectrum with strong methane and water vapor absorption.
