SCEx. AO/CHARIS Direct Spectroscopy of kappa And b
kappa And b: A Superjovian Planet or Brown Dwarf? Old Brown Dwarf Porter CHARA interferometry of star P 1640 YJH direct spectroscopy of kappa And b • • Inconclusive spectrum? But … Star’s age= old, kap And b = brown dwarf • • Resolved image of star could be young Kap And b could be lower mass Need new kappa And b spectra to clarify properties… (Hinkley et al. 2013; Jones et al. 2016)
SCEx. AO Observations of kappa And SCEx. AO/CHARIS Strehl Ratio ~0. 9 -0. 92; SNR ~ 210 • • Sharply-peaked H band spectrum suggestive of low gravity (and low mass) Eccentric, wide-separation orbit (> 75 au); may be aligned with the rotation axis of the star (Currie et al. 2018, AJ, 156, 291)
kappa And b: A Likely Low-Gravity Superjovian Planet Old/massive t mass • Most consistent with objects at/below planet-mass limit Young/plane t mass Young/plane Old/massive (Currie et al. 2018, AJ, 156, 291)

A Direct Imaging + Radial-Velocity Survey for Exoplanet Discovery SCEx. AO/CHARIS+MEC Direct Imaging (observe in good seeing) IRD/precision RV (observe in below average seeing)
Forming kappa And b Planet formation by Core Accretion (side view) By Disk instability (top view) Up to ~10 -75 AU (Kenyon & Bromley 2009; Lambrechts et al. 2012) Favored model forming Jupiter-like planets. Probably cannot form kappa And b. More than 75 AU (Boley 2009; Rafikov 2005) Can form kappa And b? Simulation from Rice et al.
The Orbit of Kappa And b Old/massive • • • Eccentric likely large semimajor axis (a > 75 au) Possibly aligned with rotation axis of star (Currie et al. 2018)
