Planet detection and characterization through high contrast imaging Raffaele Gratton INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova La ricerca sui pianeti extrasolari in Italia, Roma, 5-7 novembre 2014

Content The difficulty of HCI Extrasolar planets may be detected in HCI! Struggling against speckles: the principles of HCI High contrast imagers: first and second gen’s What we can do with HCI? – Detection – Characterization Photometry Astrometry Spectroscopy La ricerca sui pianeti extrasolari in Italia, Roma, 5-7 novembre 2014

Problematic Planets are faint and close … = 1 billion 10 6 = 1 million Reflected lightThermal emission But better for young giant planets Contrast ~10 6 in NIR

Required high contrast performances are equivalent to those required to see a moth flying around a street-lamp from a satellite at 500 km height

Fomalhaut< 3 M J 120 AU HR8799 b7 M J 68 AU HR8799 c10 M J 38 AU HR8799 d10 M J 24 AU Systems with quite large mass ratio are being discovered…

First generation HCI These discoveries were made using first generation HCI systems such as NACO, NIRC, or Hi-CIAO These instruments used moderately high order AO systems (<200 actuators, sampling the pupil at ~50 cm  SR(H)~0.5) available since early 2000s, and were not specially designed to fully exploit the potential of HCI La ricerca sui pianeti extrasolari in Italia, Roma, 5-7 novembre 2014

State-of-the-art HCI Combines various techniques to provide high contrast imaging, with excellent stellar PSF suppression and stability: –a high density high frequency AO system that corrects turbulence and static optical aberrations (WFE~100 nm, SR(H)~0.9, 5-σ contrast at 0.5 arcsec: ~10 -3 ) –coronagraphy (gain by a factor of 10) –differential imaging, in which images at different wavelengths or polarization states are observed simultaneously (further gain by a factor of 100)

Angular Differential Imaging ADI exploits the fact that the field and the pupil rotate with respect to each other In pupil stabilized mode, most speckles are caused by instrumental artifacts and are locked up in the pupil plane, whereas the object of interest, a companion or a disk, will rotate as the field rotates (see video_adi.avi )video_adi.avi This allows distinguishing the stellar halo from the object (provided instrument is stable)

Spectral deconvolution Simultaneous observation of several monochromatic images can be used to reduce the impact of speckles (Sparks and Ford, 2002) For a given observation, the location of a companion around a star is constant while the location of speckles from the star increases with wavelength and their intensity decreases (see video_spectrum.avi ) video_spectrum.avi For a wide enough wavelength range this allows subtraction of the speckles. This process is known as spectral deconvolution (Thatte et al. 2007)
