Extrasolar Kuiper Belts, aka debris disks, resolved by the Hubble Space Telescope (arxiv.org/abs/2302.04273), the central gray regions are where the stars are. These belts can be 1k to 100k times fainter than their host star. 1/n
Our former intern and current collaborator @exoAS23b has won a prestigious scholarship! Congratulations, Aniket!!
Congratulations to:
Megan Li, @UCSanDiego
Joheen Chakraborty, @Columbia
Sarah Ketchersid @EmbryRiddle
Aniket Sanghi @UTAustin

Dimtiri Mawet wrote up a short overview of KPIC if you're curious: rdcu.be/coY1J. We think we can apply the same high spatial+spectral resolution technique on all the directly imaged planets + brown dwarf companions! More papers coming from KPIC soon!

Our KPIC paper showing the detection and characterization of the HR 8799 planets at high spectral resolution (R~35,000) is out! Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2107.06949. Short thread below:

Doing spectroscopy of brown dwarf and exoplanet companions tonight with KPIC. We now have a snazzy GUI to control our instrument! Pic below we track a star on the black x so that the light of an unseen companion goes into our fibers (white x's)

Astronomers have for the very first time measured how fast HR 8799 exoplanets are spinning. The result marks first science for our new instrument KPIC. Congrats to @semaphore_P of @Caltech, Jacques Delorme of @keckobservatory & their teams! Details 👉 keckobservatory.org/kpic

What a week this was! A lot of credit to @SarahCBlunt for shaping this workshop! I loved all the enthusiasm from participants to improve astro software! That really made my week

ET-Lab welcomes our summer fellows from Caltech's SURF @CaltechSURF & WAVE programs!! We've got 8 excellent fellows this year. We are surely in for a great summer of research :D

Lots of people want to write astronomy software, but it's hard to get started.
I have collated some of my thoughts about how to start building astronomy software here.

I include recommended tools, git tutorials, and demos of how to start projects. 1/2

Happy to share @ferrerangas's first paper🎉: the biases in orbit fitting due to short orbital arcs💫(arxiv.org/abs/2103.12877 w/ @SarahCBlunt ). Quite an impressive piece of work considering most of this was done last summer over his remote summer internship. Some highlights...

I am excited to share that I will be working with @semaphore_P, Jerry Xuan, and Dr. Dimitri Mawet on exoplanet imaging at the ET Lab as a SURF Fellow this summer!🔭😁Looking forward to the journey ahead!
