LkCa 15: a young exoplanet caught at formation?

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Young and directly imaged exoplanets offer critical tests of planet-formation models that are
not matched by radial velocity surveys of mature stars. These targets have been extremely …

Mapping the shores of the Brown Dwarf desert. II. Multiple star formation in Taurus–Auriga

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland, F Martinache… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We have conducted a high-resolution imaging study of the Taurus–Auriga star-forming
region in order to characterize the primordial outcome of multiple star formation and the …

The impact of stellar multiplicity on planetary systems. I. The ruinous influence of close binary companions

AL Kraus, MJ Ireland, D Huber, AW Mann… - The Astronomical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The dynamical influence of binary companions is expected to profoundly influence planetary
systems. However, the difficulty of identifying planets in binary systems has left the …
