Deep Exploration of the Planets HR 8799 b, c, and d with Moderate-resolution Spectroscopy

JB Ruffio, QM Konopacky, T Barman… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The four directly imaged planets orbiting the star HR 8799 are an ideal laboratory to probe
atmospheric physics and formation models. We present more than a decade's worth of …

A search for a fifth planet around HR 8799 using the star-hopping RDI technique at VLT/SPHERE

Z Wahhaj, J Milli, C Romero, L Cieza, A Zurlo… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Direct imaging of extrasolar giant planets demands the highest possible contrasts

Constraining planetesimal stirring: how sharp are debris disc edges?

S Marino - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The dust production in debris discs by grinding collisions of planetesimals requires their
orbits to be stirred. However, stirring levels remain largely unconstrained, and consequently …
