Near-infrared integral-field spectra of the planet/brown dwarf companion AB Pictoris b

Near-infrared integral-field spectra of the planet/brown dwarf companion AB Pictoris b

Chauvin et al. 2005 imaged a co-moving companion at ~260 AU from the young star AB Pic A. Evolutionary models predictions based on J H K photometry of AB Pic b suggested a mass of ~13 - 14 MJup, placing the object at the deuterium-burning boundary. We used the adaptive-optics-fed …
