The SpHere INfrared Exoplanet (SHINE) project is a 500-star survey performed with
SPHERE on the Very Large Telescope for the purpose of directly detecting new substellar …

Aims. Using the direct-imaging technique, we searched for low-mass companions around
the star AF Lep, which presents a significant proper-motion anomaly (PMa) signal obtained …

Context. Expanding the sample of directly imaged companions to nearby, young stars that
are amenable to detailed astrometric and spectroscopic studies is critical for the continued …

The last decade of direct imaging (DI) searches for sub-stellar companions has uncovered a
widely diverse sample that challenges the current formation models, while highlighting the …

Benchmark brown dwarf companions with well-determined ages and model-independent
masses are powerful tools to test substellar evolutionary models and probe the formation of …

The direct characterization of exoplanetary systems with high-contrast imaging is among the
highest priorities for the broader exoplanet community. As large space missions will be …

Context. Large surveys with new-generation high-contrast imaging instruments are needed
to derive the frequency and properties of exoplanet populations with separations from~ 5 to …

The detection of a wide range of substructures such as rings, cavities, and spirals has
become a common outcome of high spatial resolution imaging of protoplanetary disks, both …

Many post-processing algorithms have been developed in order to better separate the
signal of a companion from the bright light of the host star, but the effect of such algorithms …

Context. Circumstellar disk images have highlighted a wide variety of morphological
features. Recovering disk images from high-contrast angular differential imaging (ADI) …
