TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral energy distribution of the HR 8799 planets is modeled as a mixture of clouds of varying opacity, similar to the patchy cloud structures on Jupiter and L/T transition brown dwarfs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the LBT adaptive optics system, PISCES, and LBTI/LMIRCam to image all four of the HR 8799 planets at H-band and 3.3 microns.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the laboratory characterization and performance evaluation of the First Light Adaptive Optics (FLAO) the Natural Guide Star adaptive optics system for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), which uses an adaptive secondary mirror with 672 actuators and a pyramid wavefront sensor with adjustable sampled pupil from 30×30 down to 4×4 subapertures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffraction-limited Visible Light Images of Orion Trapezium Cluster with the Magellan Adaptive Secondary Adaptive Optics System (MagAO)

TL;DR: In this article, the Magellan Adaptive Optics system (MagAO) was used to obtain very high spatial resolution observations in "visible light" with MagAO's VisAO CCD camera.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAGELLAN ADAPTIVE OPTICS FIRST-LIGHT OBSERVATIONS of the EXOPLANET β PIC b. II. 3-5 μm DIRECT IMAGING with MagAO+Clio, and the EMPIRICAL BOLOMETRIC LUMINOSITY of A SELF-LUMINOUS GIANT PLANET

TL;DR: The Magellan and Las Campanas Observatory staff made this well-engineered, smoothly operated telescope and site possible as mentioned in this paper, and they would especially like to thank Povilas Palunas for help over the entire MagAO commissioning run.
