Understanding the dominant brown dwarf and giant planet formation processes, and finding
out whether these processes rely on completely different mechanisms or share common …

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; …

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 …

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 …

The Gemini Planet Imager is a dedicated facility for directly imaging and spectroscopically
characterizing extrasolar planets. It combines a very high-order adaptive optics system, a …

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 …

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 …

Optical spectroscopy is used to confirm membership for eight low-mass candidates in the
young Beta Pic moving group (BPMG) via their radial velocities, chromospheric activity and …

We report results of a direct imaging survey for giant planets around 80 members of the β
Pic, TW Hya, Tucana-Horologium, AB Dor, and Hercules-Lyra moving groups, observed as …

We report the discovery of a planetary-mass companion, HD 106906 b, with the new
Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO)+ Clio2 system. The companion is detected with Clio2 in …
