The Direct Detection of Planets & Circumstellar THE DIRECT DETECTION OF PLANETS & CIRCUMSTELLAR DISKS IN THE 21ST CENTURY www.lyot2007.org Spirit of Lyot 2007! 1 Spirit of Lyot 2007! 2 SPONSORS The Lyot SOC and LOC would like to express our sincere appreciation for the support re! ceived by the sponsors above, including especially the NSF Center for Adaptive Optics based at the University of California, Santa Cruz. We are most grateful for generosity of all of our sponsors. SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Ga"l Chauvin, Mark Clampin, Olivier Guyon, Garth Illingworth, Paul Kalas #co!Chair$, James Graham #co!Chair$, Bruce Macintosh, Mark Marley, Karl Stapelfeldt LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Lorraine Dowling #Executive Manager$, James Graham, Paul Kalas, Franck Marchis, Christian Marois, Marshall Perrin Spirit of Lyot 2007! 3 SPIRIT OF LYOT Welcome Messag" The Lyot SOC and LOC are very pleased that you could join us for a unique confer! ence on high contrast imaging. We call this event %The Spirit of Lyot& to identify with the astronomer / instrument!builder who sought innovative solutions to the technical problems that challenge new advances in astrophysics. One of our concerns is that the experts in the astrophysical problems may not attend the same conferences as the experts in technical in! novation. We have therefore implemented several remedies in the %The Spirit of Lyot& con! ference. First, all talks are given in plenary session, thereby avoiding a common problem where parallel sessions split the group into two or more camps. Second, every day of the conference has a mix of science talks and technical talks. Hopefully this format will encour! age the instrumentalists and the researchers to attend most of the conference, and receive maximum exposure to the other camp. Third, we have a reception, two organized lunches and a banquet to give attendees venues to meet new people. Fourth, we will nurture ques! tions and discussion by asking attendees to honor the time alloted for questions, and by or! ganizing a panel discussion at the end of the conference. Fifth, given that very many posters have superb new results and innovative ideas, poster authors are given two!minute oral pres! entation slots, and we chose a meeting venue where posters, co'ee breaks, and oral presen! tations occur in the same room. Sixth, the meeting is designed to have an international scope, with a balance between senior and junior attendees, and between governmental re! search organizations and higher education institutions. We certainly hope that our e'orts lead to a productive, enjoyable and memorable meeting. Please feel free to o'er your feedback to any member of the SOC or LOC, and if you (nd this meeting useful, we will organize a sequel or two. ) Sincerely, ) Paul Kalas ) UC Berkeley, June, 2007 ) on behalf of the Lyot SOC and LOC Spirit of Lyot 2007! 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS • Map! 6 • Schedule Summary! 7 • Schedule of Events! 9 SUNDAY, June 3, 2007) 9 MONDAY, June 4, 2007) 9 TUESDAY, June 5, 2007) 10 WEDNESDAY, June 6, 2007) 12 THURSDAY, June 7, 2007) 14 FRIDAY, June 8, 2007) 16 • Talk Abstracts! 17 • Poster Abstracts! 39 • Participants! 52 Spirit of Lyot 2007! 5 Map CONFERENCE LOCATIONS Spirit of Lyot 2007! 6 Schedule Summary SPIRIT OF LYOT 2007 Monday, June 4 Tuesday, June 5 Wednesday, June 6 Thursday, June 7 Friday, June 8 8:00 Continental Breakfast Continental Breakfast Continental Breakfast Continental Breakfast Continental Breakfast 8:30 Conference Kickoff Known Exoplanets Wavefront Control Observations of Small Space Missions in the Solar and Observing Protoplanetary and and Concepts Bernard Lyot: Neighborhood Techniques Debris Disks Spirit of Innovation Extremely Large Telescopes 10:00 Coffee Break Coffee Break Coffee Break Coffee Break Coffee Break 10:30 Advances in Solar Contemporary Wavefront Control Observations of Coronagraphy Coronagraphy and Observing Protoplanetary and Panel Discussion: Techniques Debris Disks Charting the Course The Coronagraph Tree of Life 12:00 Lunch Lunch Lunch Lunch Conference Summary Bancroft Hotel around Berkeley around Berkeley Bancroft Hotel and wrapup 13:15 Poster Express 2 Adjourn 13:30 Planet Formation & Direct Imaging of Future Instruments Evolution Theory Exoplanets and Telescopes Coronagraph Theory & Brown Dwarfs & Innovation 15:00 Coffee Break Coffee Break Coffee Break Coffee Break 15:30 Cool Atmospheres Coronagraph Theory Direct Imaging of Future Instruments Theory & Innovation Exoplanets and Telescopes & Brown Dwarfs Poster Express 1 17:30 Banquet Faculty Club 6:30 SPECIAL EVENTS: RECEPTION: ) ) Sunday, June 3, Bancroft Hotel, 6!8 PM CATERED LUNCH: )) Monday, June 4, Bancroft Hotel, noon BANQUET: ) ) ) Wednesday, June 6, UC Berkeley Faculty Club, from 6:30 PM CATERED LUNCH: )) Thursday, June 7, Bancroft Hotel, noon Spirit of Lyot 2007! 7 Spirit of Lyot 2007! 8 Schedule of Events SUNDAY, June 3, 2007 Reception: Bancroft Hotel, 6 – 8 PM MONDAY, June 4, 2007 8:00 REGISTRATION & CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST Conference Kickoff (Chairs: Guyon & Kalas) Paul Kalas – The Spirit of Lyot Conference: Motivations & Goals 25 +5 8:30 - 10:00 Bernard Lyot: The Spirit of Innovation Karl Hufbauer – The life and work of Lyot 1897-1939 25 +5 Audouin Dollfus – Lyot after 1939 25 +5 10:00 COFFEE BREAK & POSTERS Advances in Solar Coronagraphy 10:30 - Doug Rabin – Review noon 40 +5 The Coronagraph Tree of Life Olivier Guyon – Review 40 +5 noon LUNCH – BANCROFT HOTEL Planet Formation & Evolution Theory (Chairs: Marley & Graham) 1:30 - Greg Laughlin – Review: Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems 45 +5 3:00 Taro Matsuo – Planetary formation scenarios revisited: core-accretion versus disk instability 12 +3 Hannah Jang–Condell – Disk Instability vs. Core Accretion: Observable Discriminants 12 +3 POSTERS Marc Kuchner – Mass-Radius Relationships for Earths and Super-Earths 3:00 COFFEE BREAK & POSTERS Cool Atmospheres – Theory (Chairs: Marley & Chauvin) 3:30 – Mark Marley – Review: Characterization of Extrasolar Planets: Lessons From Atmosphere 40 +5 4:35 Modeling Jonathan Fortney – Extreme Planetary Atmospheres: Modeling Hot Jupiters 12 +3 4:35 – Poster Express I 5:30 2–minute oral presentations for all posters on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday schedules.

We aim, on the one hand, to study the possible differences of Li abundances between planet hosts and stars without detected planets at effective temperatures hotter than the Sun, and on the other hand, to explore the Li dip and the evolution of Li at high metallicities. Methods. We present lithium abundances for 353 main sequence stars with and without planets in the Teff range 5900–7200 K. We observed 265 stars of our sample with HARPS spectrograph during different planets search programs. We observed the remaining targets with a variety of high-resolution spectrographs.
