1 00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:06,150 you 2 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:15,060 [Music] 3 00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:17,930 all right thank you very much I'm a 4 00:00:22,179 --> 00:00:19,790 member of the GPI instrument team as 5 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:22,189 well as the X plan of survey team I'm a 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:24,290 co-lead for the debris disc science and 7 00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:27,890 today I'll give you a update on the 8 00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:29,960 progress of our survey now that is 9 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:41,619 great so the purpose of our survey is to 10 00:00:51,729 --> 00:00:44,510 explore this region between 5 and 50 au 11 00:01:00,610 --> 00:00:51,739 for young jupiter-mass planets let's see 12 00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:00,620 roughly some kind of work right here all 13 00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,870 right good all right in this region 14 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:04,640 right here this is a plot of semi-major 15 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:08,330 axis versus planet mass previous direct 16 00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:11,570 imaging surveys were sensitive to wider 17 00:01:16,270 --> 00:01:14,240 separation planets and now we're 18 00:01:18,130 --> 00:01:16,280 extending to this region here which is 19 00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:18,140 beginning to overlap with the radio 20 00:01:24,399 --> 00:01:20,750 velocity detected planets between 5 and 21 00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:24,409 10 and you we've been awarded 890 hours 22 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:27,740 of Gemini South time making this one the 23 00:01:32,499 --> 00:01:30,290 largest and most Ematic surveys for 24 00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:32,509 extrasolar planets the other large 25 00:01:38,289 --> 00:01:35,060 survey is being conducted by sphere on 26 00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:38,299 the VLT we have 600 targets that we plan 27 00:01:48,850 --> 00:01:46,030 to observe so far we've observed 340 G 28 00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:48,860 pi is specifically designed for high 29 00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:50,540 contrast imaging it's a facility 30 00:01:53,950 --> 00:01:52,100 instrument though so there are many 31 00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:53,960 users and principal investigators 32 00:01:59,770 --> 00:01:57,470 outside of the G PI's team who are 33 00:02:02,499 --> 00:01:59,780 interested in for example imaging pre 34 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:02,509 main sequence stars or some targets 35 00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:04,310 which are not on our reserve catalogue 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:06,200 you need a star that's brighter than 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:09,290 ninth magnitude to serve as a natural 38 00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:11,690 guide star has a relatively small field 39 00:02:17,650 --> 00:02:14,150 of view of 2.8 arc seconds by 2.8 arc 40 00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:17,660 seconds and it achieves a relatively low 41 00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:19,790 spectral resolution in that 42 00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:28,630 the survey started in December of 2014 43 00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:31,390 it's strictly conducted in the H band 44 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:33,670 and we also have a dual channel 45 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,400 polarimetry mode where we search for 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:38,720 polarization signatures from scattering 47 00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:43,730 from dust grains around stars the the 48 00:02:48,610 --> 00:02:46,280 sample of stars was developed in a 49 00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:48,620 period of three years preceding the 50 00:02:55,629 --> 00:02:52,000 survey by Jenny patients and in Suk song 51 00:02:58,300 --> 00:02:55,639 and we've selected stars that are all 52 00:03:03,970 --> 00:02:58,310 roughly younger than 300 million years 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:03,980 and within 150 parsec these are the 54 00:03:08,619 --> 00:03:05,810 directly image planets so far with cheap 55 00:03:11,679 --> 00:03:08,629 I three of these have three of these 56 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:11,689 systems are previously known HR 8799 9 57 00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:15,760 508 6b and beta pick B and our new 58 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:20,419 detection is 51 Airy p51 Airy is 59 00:03:26,349 --> 00:03:22,310 actually part of the beta pick moving 60 00:03:28,689 --> 00:03:26,359 group so it's age is 20 million years it 61 00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:28,699 is a hierarchical triple system so 62 00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:32,180 there's a 2,000 a you to the south or 63 00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:33,560 roughly an arc minute to the south 64 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:37,900 there's a close pair of binary M dwarfs 65 00:03:44,469 --> 00:03:41,690 the mass of 51 a DB is roughly 2 to 3 66 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,479 Jupiter masses and because it's such a 67 00:03:49,899 --> 00:03:47,120 young system it was imaged many times 68 00:03:51,699 --> 00:03:49,909 before by the previous generation of 69 00:03:54,129 --> 00:03:51,709 instrumentation so this really 70 00:03:56,740 --> 00:03:54,139 highlights the fact that this improved 71 00:03:59,409 --> 00:03:56,750 contrast provided by G PI really makes a 72 00:04:05,559 --> 00:03:59,419 difference in our exploration parameter 73 00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:05,569 space the spectrum shows deep methane 74 00:04:10,210 --> 00:04:07,790 absorption so much like here's the 75 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,220 methane band here and H band we see this 76 00:04:17,229 --> 00:04:13,040 absorption so it's very much like our 77 00:04:22,649 --> 00:04:17,239 own Jupiter Eric Nielsen one of our 78 00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,659 postdocs is developing our sensitivity 79 00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:24,800 assessing the sensitivity of our survey 80 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,780 after 300 stars and this is our 81 00:04:32,130 --> 00:04:29,120 sensitivity plot our current sensitivity 82 00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:32,140 plot as function of planet mass 83 00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:33,910 whose 10 Jupiter masses at semi-major 84 00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:37,150 axis previous surveys would not have 85 00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:39,670 been sensitive to planets in this regime 86 00:04:43,710 --> 00:04:41,620 and this is in fact what GPI is 87 00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:43,720 accomplishing and this point shows the 88 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:46,390 detection of 51 re B it's very 89 00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:48,850 interesting now now this is a plot of 90 00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:51,160 our entire sample so far but you can 91 00:04:57,330 --> 00:04:53,950 split the sample up into the different 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:04:57,340 spectra the stellar masses and this is 93 00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:00,570 quite interesting if you look at our our 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:03,220 sensitivity limits as function of 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:08,050 spectral type or stellar mass all the 96 00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:10,450 extrasolar planets are detected around 97 00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:14,260 higher mass stars so we were sensitive 98 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:17,560 indeed to jupiter-mass planets at this 99 00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:19,570 range of semi-major axis around lower 100 00:05:23,460 --> 00:05:21,430 mass stars but they have not been 101 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:23,470 detected they're not there so there 102 00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:26,410 seems to be a strong correlation of the 103 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:28,750 frequency of giant planets in the 5 to 104 00:05:36,210 --> 00:05:32,800 58 you read semi-major axis region with 105 00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:36,220 stellar mass we still want to finish our 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:38,920 survey to see if this is confirmed this 107 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:43,210 is real and in fact as we image the 108 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:45,850 remainder of our sample and other 260 109 00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:53,400 here's an image gallery of the debris 110 00:05:58,500 --> 00:05:56,200 disks we've imaged the structure and 111 00:06:01,140 --> 00:05:58,510 morphology of these debris disks can 112 00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:01,150 indicate the presence of sub 113 00:06:06,090 --> 00:06:03,190 jupiter-mass planets that aren't 114 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:06,100 directly detected but modified through 115 00:06:12,090 --> 00:06:07,570 gravitational perturbations the 116 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:12,100 structure of the debris disks so for the 117 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:13,630 remainder of the talk I wanted to 118 00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:16,510 highlight sort of the wider impact of G 119 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:19,360 pie and I'll discuss two systems which 120 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:21,130 both have debris disks and directly 121 00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:24,610 image planets one is HD 106 906 where 122 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:26,110 the central star is actually a binary 123 00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:29,890 pair of f5 stars age 30 million years 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:31,990 and ska sin and I'll also talk about 125 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:33,970 beta pick which is a more massive star 126 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:37,650 at 19.3 parsec in age 20 million years 127 00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:41,850 so first with 106 906 the 128 00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:45,600 extrasolar planet 106 906 be has 11 129 00:06:51,290 --> 00:06:47,400 Jupiter masses but it's at a very wide 130 00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:51,300 separation it's at 700 au from the star 131 00:06:57,530 --> 00:06:55,080 and this was in fact detected previous 132 00:06:59,680 --> 00:06:57,540 to the start of the G PI survey by 133 00:07:02,540 --> 00:06:59,690 Vanessa Bailey at all here in Arizona 134 00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:02,550 and with G PI what we accomplished is 135 00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:05,520 the detection of scattered light from 136 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:07,980 the the debris disc surrounding the 137 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:10,530 primary and the new result and it's 138 00:07:14,690 --> 00:07:12,330 quite surprising is that the debris disc 139 00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:14,700 detected with G PI it's position angle 140 00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:15,630 is misaligned 141 00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:19,230 with that of the star we looked at 142 00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:22,830 archival HST images and saw features in 143 00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:25,260 the outer region which suggested a 144 00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:27,120 highly perturbed debris disc and what 145 00:07:31,910 --> 00:07:29,550 I'm showing you here is our latest data 146 00:07:34,310 --> 00:07:31,920 using HST States this is unpublished to 147 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:34,320 data the observations were made just six 148 00:07:39,770 --> 00:07:37,650 weeks ago confirming that the morphology 149 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:39,780 of the outer disk is highly perturbed 150 00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:42,960 this is not instrumental this is the 151 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:44,550 actual structure of the debris disk 152 00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:47,610 showing a long and flat westward 153 00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:50,550 extension and a radially truncated this 154 00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:52,860 is roughly 300 au and vertically 155 00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:56,940 distended eastern side as if the whole 156 00:08:02,690 --> 00:07:59,010 system is in the state of dynamical 157 00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:02,700 upheaval may be analogous to our own 158 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:04,620 solar system's period of late heavy 159 00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:08,000 bombardment this work has already 160 00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:11,040 inspired two Theory papers that have 161 00:08:16,990 --> 00:08:13,350 come out investigating how the planet or 162 00:08:20,990 --> 00:08:17,000 a passing star could invoke these 163 00:08:23,690 --> 00:08:21,000 asymmetries we also have looked at the 164 00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:23,700 Alma cycle one data which is a non 165 00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:24,990 detection in the sense that the 166 00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:27,150 signal-to-noise of the cycle one data is 167 00:08:35,959 --> 00:08:31,710 two and a half or two sigma but the 168 00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,969 orientation of these contours is exactly 169 00:08:40,370 --> 00:08:37,440 aligned with the position angle of the 170 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:40,380 disc and we've applied for cycle five 171 00:08:50,970 --> 00:08:44,610 Alma time to discover the spatial 172 00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:53,740 we'll be on to beta pick beta pick has 173 00:08:57,940 --> 00:08:55,460 always been known to be an edge-on 174 00:09:00,760 --> 00:08:57,950 system since it was first discovered in 175 00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:00,770 1984 so when the planet was discovered 176 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:03,470 beta pick be an actual question was you 177 00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:06,050 have a directly image planet the system 178 00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:08,390 is edge on is this a unique case in 179 00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:10,400 nature where we would be able to 180 00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:12,830 characterize an extrasolar planet not 181 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:14,360 only because it's directly imaged but 182 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:21,290 because it will also transit the star so 183 00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:23,090 we've been monitoring beta picked B over 184 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:24,920 the last three years using G PI we've 185 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:26,930 published three papers on this and in 186 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:30,650 our last paper we've determined the 187 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:34,730 orbital elements very precisely here you 188 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:37,930 can see that you can see the time here 189 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:42,080 and that beta pick B is now about to 190 00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:43,610 transit in front of the star 191 00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:46,790 unfortunately our analysis indicates 192 00:09:51,970 --> 00:09:48,980 through this work by graduate student 193 00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:51,980 Jason Wang at Berkeley that the the 194 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:55,160 orbital elements aren't a show that the 195 00:09:59,650 --> 00:09:57,250 inclination is not exactly a John 196 00:10:01,540 --> 00:09:59,660 unfortunately the planet will not pass 197 00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:01,550 in front of the star it's just missing 198 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:07,700 it by 0.2 au or 10 mili arcseconds the 199 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:09,440 good news is the hill sphere of the 200 00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:11,210 planet is transiting so this is an 201 00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:13,910 opportunity to search for planetary 202 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:17,180 rings the what G PI has provided is this 203 00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:20,210 ephemeris for the transit which is now 204 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:22,940 being used by many groups all around the 205 00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:25,130 world to monitor beta pick for planetary 206 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:28,600 rings the hill sphere has already oops 207 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:31,850 the hill sphere has already started 208 00:10:37,690 --> 00:10:34,880 passing in front of the star in early 209 00:10:41,050 --> 00:10:37,700 April by June 20th half a hill sphere 210 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:41,060 will be in front of the star and closed 211 00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:44,450 approaches August 31st problem is that 212 00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:46,100 beta pick is at right ascension six 213 00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:48,760 hours so you can observe it from most 214 00:10:54,730 --> 00:10:52,220 observatories in the summer so we have 215 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:54,740 two solutions we have a Hubble program 216 00:11:00,610 --> 00:10:58,130 to monitor beta pick using whiskey three 217 00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:00,620 uva's in spatial scanning mode we've 218 00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:03,230 already obtained data at two epochs 219 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:07,220 or the ingress and we will re observe 220 00:11:11,860 --> 00:11:09,770 beta pick in July in August to see if 221 00:11:13,900 --> 00:11:11,870 there's been any extinction of life due 222 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:13,910 to foreground dust surrounding the 223 00:11:20,410 --> 00:11:16,850 planet we also have collaborated with 224 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:20,420 teams in Antarctica it turns out that 225 00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:22,250 Antarctica is a great place for 226 00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:24,860 astronomy in July and August because 227 00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:28,400 it's always dark there the the Chinese 228 00:11:33,070 --> 00:11:30,260 and French have transit monitoring 229 00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:33,080 telescopes there the Chinese at dome a 230 00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:37,040 and the French at dome C and the French 231 00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:39,080 in particular will be monitoring beta 232 00:11:44,410 --> 00:11:41,630 pick 24 hours a day seven days a week 233 00:11:50,170 --> 00:11:44,420 through all of July and August searching 234 00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:50,180 for ring signatures what do we expect to 235 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:53,510 find well what about moons the transit 236 00:11:57,820 --> 00:11:55,970 depths of a moon of moons is roughly a 237 00:11:59,980 --> 00:11:57,830 micro max so we don't have that 238 00:12:03,460 --> 00:11:59,990 precision our precision is roughly a 239 00:12:05,710 --> 00:12:03,470 millimes so that is very very good for 240 00:12:07,870 --> 00:12:05,720 detecting rings and if the structure of 241 00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:07,880 rings shows gaps maybe we could also 242 00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:10,790 infer the presence of circum planetary 243 00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:15,830 moons okay so that was a brief summary 244 00:12:20,850 --> 00:12:18,590 of what we've accomplished with with g 245 00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:20,860 pi to date loud covered one new 246 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:24,470 extrasolar planet we've determined the 247 00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:26,450 orbital elements of the other extra 248 00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:29,180 planets we can characterize their 249 00:12:34,180 --> 00:12:31,790 atmospheres through the spectra that we 250 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:34,190 obtain with G PI and there's a much 251 00:12:40,570 --> 00:12:37,250 broader impact with follow-up HST and 252 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:40,580 Alma imaging as well as hopefully with 253 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:44,330 JWST in the future and this transit 254 00:12:48,130 --> 00:12:46,010 monitoring campaign of beta pick is 255 00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:48,140 ongoing with the potential of 256 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:50,540 discovering planetary rings around 257 00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:52,450 another planet thank 258 00:13:00,120 --> 00:12:57,570 [Applause] 259 00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:00,130 excellent thank you we have about three 260 00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:01,360 minutes for questions so if you have a 261 00:13:16,930 --> 00:13:02,500 question please come up to the mic 262 00:13:24,610 --> 00:13:19,840 okay well I think we'll thank you very 263 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:24,620 much on to our next speaker oh we have a 264 00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:30,530 question Oh perfect thanks Paul 265 00:13:34,030 --> 00:13:32,720 it's great to see the results coming 266 00:13:36,430 --> 00:13:34,040 along and I want to ask about the 267 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:36,440 sensitivity plot you showed earlier in 268 00:13:43,020 --> 00:13:40,130 your talk we had the contours yeah 269 00:13:46,420 --> 00:13:43,030 and was there an assumption in those 270 00:13:49,210 --> 00:13:46,430 sensitivity calculations of if each star 271 00:13:53,410 --> 00:13:49,220 had one planet then we should have seen 272 00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:53,420 seen it - this many stars or was it 273 00:13:59,650 --> 00:13:56,690 driven by a current rates of it was 274 00:14:03,010 --> 00:13:59,660 really rare occurence rates yeah so we 275 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:03,020 were in fact using some of the 276 00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:07,130 occurrence rates in terms of the the 277 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:09,800 distribution of orbital elements is that 278 00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:12,530 from RV surveys is that what you're 279 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:14,750 asking right yeah I know the activity of 280 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:16,970 obvious stops Peter out once you get to 281 00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:20,090 know yeah we were all but although some 282 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:22,040 of the assumptions have to do with the 283 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:27,680 RV statistics from from coming at Al and
