Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique that corrects for optical aberrations. It was originally
proposed to correct for the blurring effect of atmospheric turbulence on images in ground …

We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is
a< 20 M Jup widely separated (∼ 8'', a= 150 au), young, planetary-mass companion that …

Context. The multiplicity fraction of stars, down to the substellar regime, is a parameter of
fundamental importance for stellar formation, evolution, and planetology. The census of …

We present a statistical analysis of the first 300 stars observed by the Gemini Planet Imager
Exoplanet Survey. This subsample includes six detected planets and three brown dwarfs; …

High-contrast adaptive optics (AO) imaging is a powerful technique to probe the
architectures of planetary systems from the outside-in and survey the atmospheres of self …

Context. β Pictoris is arguably one of the most studied stellar systems outside of our own.
Some 30 yr of observations have revealed a highly-structured circumstellar disk, with rings …

We report the discovery and characterisation of a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune transiting
the bright (K= 8.8), quiet, and nearby (37 pc) M3V dwarf TOI-1266. We validate the planetary …

ABSTRACT A new class of high-contrast image analysis algorithms that empirically fit and
subtract systematic noise has lead to recent discoveries of faint exoplanet/substellar …

Context. Directly imaged planets and substellar companions are key targets for the
characterization of self-luminous atmospheres. Their photometric appearance at 4–5 μm is …

PDS 70b is a recently discovered and directly imaged exoplanet within the wide (≳ 40 au)
cavity around PDS 70. Ongoing accretion onto the central star suggests that accretion onto …
