Direct imaging of exoplanets and moons
In this presentation, I will give a brief review of some of the latest results in the fields of high-contrast imaging and planet formation.
Recently, two circumplanetary disks have been discovered: around the young protoplanet PDS 70 c and the ultra-wide companion SR 12 c. These breakthrough discoveries give hope in finding exosatellites around young companions. I will present the first results of a team effort to look for satellites and circumplanetary disks around the known companions of high-contrast imaging. Studying the vicinity of young exoplanets can shed light on the mechanisms of planet formation.
