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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, adaptive optics observations of LkCa 15 that probe within the disk clearing are reported, with accurate source positions over multiple epochs spanning 2009-2015, infer the presence of multiple companions on Keplerian orbits.

TL;DR: Nielsen et al. as discussed by the authors presented a statistical analysis of the first 300 stars observed by the Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey (GPEES) to infer the underlying distributions of substellar companions with respect to their mass, semimajor axis, and host stellar mass.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first near-IR scattered light detection of the transitional disk associated with the Herbig Ae star MWC 758 using data obtained as part of the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru, and 1.1 {$μ$}m Hubble Space Telescope/NICMOS data.
