[Baps] Metchev talk on Monday Direct Imaging of Debris Disks and Exoplanetary Systems

[Sarah Stewart-Mukhopadhyay]

Please join us on Monday for the last SSP seminar of the year!

----
DATE: Monday 17th December 2007
TIME: 12:00
ROOM: Pratt Conference Room, CfA, 60 Garden St.
SPEAKER: Stanimir Metchev (UCLA)

"Direct Imaging of Debris Disks and Exoplanetary Systems"

This talk will summarize how direct imaging of optically thin
circumstellar debris disks allows us to probe the physical properties
of the circumstellar dust and the architectures of the planetary
systems imbedded therein.  I will also cover current results from
efforts to study the extrasolar planets themselves using high-contrast
imaging techniques, and the relevance of our present knowledge of
low-mass brown dwarfs to the expected properties of extrasolar giant
planets.
