| DIRECT IMAGING OF DEBRIS DISKS AND EXOPLANETS: PROBING ATMOSPHERES AND SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES |
|
AO with large telescopes is allowing direct imaging of the other planetary systems, both their dusty debris disks, and giant planets in large orbits. These observations are allowing us to complete the census of the typical architecture of planetary systems, and constrain planet formation scenarios. I will show a few early examples of these observations, and describe planned surveys with the Large Binocular Telescope. |
