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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented binocular LBT adaptive optics (AO) images of the HR 8799 planetary system in six narrow-band filters from 3 to 4 μm, and a Magellan AO image of the 2M1207 planetary system with luminosity consistent with L → T transition brown dwarfs in a broader 3.3 μm band.
