Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light-Years from Earth

TL;DR: Optical observations of an exoplanet candidate, Fomalhaut b, show that the planet's mass is at most three times that of Jupiter; a higher mass would lead to gravitational disruption of the belt, matching predictions of its location.

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.

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: 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.
