The Gemini Planet Imager
Bruce Macintosh,James R. Graham,David Palmer,René Doyon,Donald T. Gavel,James E. Larkin,Ben R. Oppenheimer,L. Saddlemyer,J. Kent Wallace,Brian J. Bauman,Julia W. Evans,Darren Erikson,Katie M. Morzinski,Donald W. Phillion,Lisa Poyneer,Anand Sivaramakrishnan,Rémi Soummer,Simon Thibault,Jean-Pierre Véran +18 more
TL;DR: The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) as discussed by the authors is a system for direct imaging of the planets themselves, which can achieve contrast levels of 10-7 to 10-8, sufficient to detect warm self-luminous Jovian planets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of 0.75 Gbar planar shocks in x-ray driven colliding foils.
TL;DR: The dynamic pressure inferred by shock velocity measurements is more than a factor of 7 greater than previous dynamic shocks produced in the laboratory and over a surface area significantly larger than most previous ultrahigh pressure experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subnanosecond relaxation time measurements using a transient induced grating method
TL;DR: In this article, the orientational relaxation times and S1 singlet lifetimes for Rhodamine 6G molecules in various alcohols have been measured using mode-locked laser pulses in a transient induced grating technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the x-ray emission of gold disks has been irradiated with 1.06 μm laser light at intensities between 7 × 1013 and 3 × 1015 W/cm2, and pulse lengths between 200 and 1000 psec.

TL;DR: The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) as mentioned in this paper was designed for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) to detect newly-formed planets on 5-10 AU scales in regions such as Taurus and Ophiucus.
