ASTROMETRIC CONFIRMATION AND PRELIMINARY ORBITAL PARAMETERS OF THE YOUNG EXOPLANET 51 ERIDANI b WITH THE GEMINI PLANET IMAGER

ASTROMETRIC CONFIRMATION AND PRELIMINARY ORBITAL PARAMETERS OF THE YOUNG EXOPLANET 51 ERIDANI b WITH THE GEMINI PLANET IMAGER

We present new Gemini Planet Imager observations of the young exoplanet 51 Eridani b that provide further evidence that the companion is physically associated with 51 Eridani. Combining this new astrometric measurement with those reported in the literature, we significantly reduce the posterior probability that 51 Eridani b is an …
