Direct Imaging of Multiple Planets Orbiting the Star HR 8799
Open accessAbstract
Direct imaging of exoplanetary systems is a powerful technique that can reveal Jupiter-like planets in wide orbits, can enable detailed characterization of planetary atmospheres, and is a key step toward imaging Earth-like planets. Imaging detections are challenging because of the combined effect of small angular separation and large luminosity contrast between a planet and its host star. High-contrast observations with the Keck and Gemini telescopes have revealed three planets orbiting the star HR 8799, with projected separations of 24, 38, and 68 astronomical units. Multi-epoch data show counter clockwise orbital motion for all three imaged planets. The low luminosity of the companions and the estimated age of the system imply planetary masses between 5 and 13 times that of Jupiter. This system resembles a scaled-up version of the outer portion of our solar system.

“While observational inference of extrasolar planetary systems such as HR 8799 (Marois et al. 2008) suggests that planets can indeed occupy exceptionally wide orbits, the solar nebula would have had to be exceptionally expansive to be compatible with in-situ formation of a planet on such a distant…”

“…these young moving groups makes them especially advantageous for the study of circumstellar processes that depend on angular resolution (such as multiple star formation; Brandeker et al. 2003, 2006; Evans et al. 2012) and searches for extrasolar planets (Marois et al. 2008; Lagrange et al. 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
