• 313 currently confirmed exoplanets• A significant astrophysics research
area.• Understand planet formation
• New Technology enables direct imaging
• Find locations for extra-terrestrial life.

Requires Special Circumstances
-Faint star
-High mass companion
-Large star-exoplanet separation
-Young, infrared radiating companion

• Originally with NIRC2 at Keck (2007)
![Page 7: By Matt Hill and Alison Hammond. Orbiting a star other than the Sun A planetary-mass object (No deuterium burning) Artist’s Impression](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d415503460f94a1bff3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Further images in 2008 with NIRC2 and PHARO at Palomer.

Note
• NIRC2 is astrometrically calibrated to a high specification
• PHARO is less sufficiently calibrated

• Some stars in upper Scorpius seemed likely possibilities.

1. Image to usable image
2. Usable image to relative x and y coordinates
3. Converting data to relative positions (separation and angle) for a series of dates
4. Converting this into real positioning ready to be graphed

• Calibration inconsistencies– Using NIRC2 to assist PHARO calibration
• Conversion to miliarcseconds
• Finding real relative angle

-Appears to follow proper motion line-PHARO data only varied by small amount
-Does not remain in same position
-Deviates sideways from expected motion
-The two positions after one year are arguably exactly the same
