Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet β Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the β Pictoris system. We detect β Pictoris d in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERIS as well as multi-epoch […]

Upper Limits On Exosatellites Around β Pictoris b
β Pictoris b is one of the closest known directly-imaged gas giant exoplanets with an orbit that is almost edge-on to our line of sight, making it an ideal target […]

Follow-Up Exploration Of The TWA 7 Planet-Disk System With JWST NIRCam
The young M-star TWA 7 hosts a bright and near face-on debris disk, which has been imaged from the optical to the submillimeter.

Exocomet Orbital Distribution Around Beta Pictoris
The 23 Myr young star β Pictoris is a laboratory for planet formation studies given its observed debris disk, its two directly imaged super-Jovian planets, and the evidence of transiting […]

The β Pictoris b Hill Sphere Transit Campaign. Paper II: Searching for the Signatures of the β Pictoris Exoplanets Through Time Delay Analysis of the δ Scuti Pulsations
The β Pictoris system is the closest known stellar system with directly detected gas giant planets, an edge-on circumstellar disc, and evidence of falling sublimating bodies and transiting exocomets. The […]

Curves Of Growth For Transiting Exocomets: Application To Fe II Lines In The Beta Pictoris System
This study introduces the exocomet curve of growth, a new method to analyse the variable absorptions observed in β Pictoris spectrum and link them to the physical properties of the […]
