The First Directly Imaged Binary System with Substellar Siblings
The first directly imaged hierarchical quadruple system: two stars, each with a substellar companion!

In this post, we explore the use of modern telescopes to identify and study Young Stellar Objects in the Chamaeleon Cloud Complex – a star-forming region in the Chamaeleon constellation. YSOs exhibit an infrared excess due to the presence of cooler circumstellar matter. By analyzing their Spectral Energy Distribution, we can gain insights into the rate at which stars form and the factors that govern this process. Using GAIA parameters, such as parallax and proper motion, we can refine the list of known young stars and identify new ones. Our results demonstrate the power of modern telescopes in unlocking the mysteries of star formation.
Today we interview astrophysicist Kathryne Daniel for her plenary talk at #AAS242!
Observations from both space and ground,
a planet have finally found!
Astrometric inspection
leads to imaging detection,
of a Jupiter with slightly thin clouds!
Direct imaging exoplanets is difficult, but a new method of vetting targets has just helped three independent teams discover, and image, a new gas giant.
Astrobites covers the 4th and final day of talks at AAS 241.
