SCExAO/CHARIS Near-infrared Direct Imaging, Spectroscopy, and Forward-Modeling of <i>κ</i> And b: A Likely Young, Low-gravity Superjovian Companion

We present SCExAO/CHARIS high-contrast imaging/$JHK$ integral field spectroscopy of $\kappa$ And b, a directly-imaged low-mass companion orbiting a nearby B9V star. We detect $\kappa$ And b at a high signal-to-noise and extract high precision spectrophotometry using a new forward-modeling algorithm for (A-)LOCI complementary to KLIP-FM developed by Pueyo (2016). $\kappa$ …
