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.

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accreting protoplanets in the LkCa 15 transition disk

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: Giant Planet and Brown Dwarf Demographics from 10 to 100 au

Eric L. Nielsen, +73 more
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.
