First light of the Gemini Planet Imager

TL;DR: Observations ofBeta Pictoris clearly detect the planet, Beta Pictoris b, in a single 60-s exposure with minimal postprocessing, and fitting the Keplerian orbit of Beta Pic b using the new position together with previous astrometry gives a factor of 3 improvement in most parameters over previous solutions.

Polarimetry with the gemini planet imager: Methods, performance at first light, and the circumstellar ring around HR 4796A

Marshall D. Perrin, +50 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first results from the polarimetry mode of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) were presented, showing that the disk exhibits surprisingly strong asymmetry in polarized intensity, with the west side 9 times brighter than the east side despite the fact that the east sides are slightly brighter in total intensity.

Gemini Planet Imager Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planets c and d

TL;DR: In this article, the first light run of the Gemini Planet Imager was used to obtain K-band spectra of exoplanets HR 8799 c and d. Analysis of the spectra indicates that planet d may be warmer than planet c and that thick clouds combined with horizontal variation in the cloud cover generally reproduce the planets' spectral energy distributions.
