<i>β</i>PICTORIS’ INNER DISK IN POLARIZED LIGHT AND NEW ORBITAL PARAMETERS FOR<i>β</i>PICTORIS<i>b</i>

We present H-band observations of β Pic with the Gemini Planet Imager's (GPI's) polarimetry mode that reveal the debris disk between ∼03 (6 AU) and ∼17 (33 AU), while simultaneously detecting β Pic b. The polarized disk image was fit with a dust density model combined with a Henyey–Greenstein scattering …
