We present SCExAO/CHARIS 1.1--2.4 micron integral field direct spectroscopy of the young HIP 79124 triple system. HIP 79124 is a member of the Scorpius-Centaurus association, consisting of an A0V primary with two low-mass companions at a projected separation of <1 arcsecond. Thanks to the high quality wavefront corrections provided by SCExAO, both companions are decisively detected without the employment of any PSF-subtraction algorithm to eliminate quasi-static noise. The spectrum of the outer C object is very well matched by Upper Scorpius M4 pm 0.5 standard spectra, with a Teff = 2945 pm 100 and a mass of 350 MJup. HIP 79124 B is detected at a separation of only 180 mas in a highly-correlated noise regime, and it falls in the spectral range M6 pm 0.5 with Teff = 2840 pm 190 and 100 MJup. Previous studies of stellar populations in Sco-Cen have highlighted a discrepancy in isochronal ages between the lower-mass and higher-mass populations. This could be explained either by an age spread in the region, or by conventional isochronal models failing to reproduce the evolution of low-mass stars. The HIP 79124 system should be coeval, and therefore it provides an ideal laboratory to test these scenarios. We place the three components in a color-magnitude diagram and find that the models predict a younger age for the two low-mass companions (3 Myr) than for the primary star (6 Myr). These results imply that the omission of magnetic effects in conventional isochronal models inhibit them from reproducing early low-mass stellar evolution, which is further supported by the fact that new models that include such effects provide more consistent ages in the HIP 79124 system.

We present new, near-infrared (1.1--2.4 $mu m$) high-contrast imaging of the bright debris disk surrounding HIP 79977 with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system (SCExAO) coupled with the CHARIS integral field spectrograph. SCExAO/CH
ARIS resolves the disk down to smaller angular separations of (0.11; $r sim 14$ au) and at a higher significance than previously achieved at the same wavelengths. The disk exhibits a marginally significant east-west brightness asymmetry in $H$ band that requires confirmation. Geometrical modeling suggests a nearly edge-on disk viewed at a position angle of $sim$ 114.6$^{o}$ east of north. The disk is best-fit by scattered-light models assuming strongly forward-scattering grains ($g$ $sim$ 0.5--0.65) confined to a torus with a peak density at $r_{0}$ $sim$ 53--75 au. We find that a shallow outer density power law of $alpha_{out}=$-1-- -3 and flare index of $beta = 1$ are preferred. Other disk parameters (e.g.~inner density power law and vertical scale height) are more poorly constrained. The disk has a slightly blue intrinsic color and its profile is broadly consistent with predictions from birth ring models applied to other debris disks. While HIP 79977s disk appears to be more strongly forward-scattering than most resolved disks surrounding 5--30 Myr-old stars, this difference may be due to observational biases favoring forward-scattering models for inclined disks vs. lower inclination, ostensibly neutral-scattering disks like HR 4796As. Deeper, higher signal-to-noise SCExAO/CHARIS data can better constrain the disks dust composition.
We present new, near-infrared ($1.1 - 2.4$ $mu m$) high-contrast imaging of the debris disk around HD 15115 with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics system (SCExAO) coupled with the Coronagraphic High Angular Resolution Imaging Spectrogr
aph (CHARIS). SCExAO/CHARIS resolves the disk down to $rho sim 0.2$ ($rm{r_{proj}} sim 10$ $rm{au}$), a factor of $sim 3-5$ smaller than previous recent studies. We derive a disk position angle of $rm{PA}$ $sim 279.4^circ - 280.5^circ$ and an inclination of $rm{i}$ $sim 85.3^circ - 86.2^circ$. While recent SPHERE/IRDIS imagery of the system could suggest a significantly misaligned two ring disk geometry, CHARIS imagery does not reveal conclusive evidence for this hypothesis. Moreover, optimizing models of both one and two ring geometries using differential evolution, we find that a single ring having a Hong-like scattering phase function matches the data equally well within the CHARIS field of view ($rho lesssim 1$). The disks asymmetry, well-evidenced at larger separations, is also recovered; the west side of the disk appears on average around 0.4 magnitudes brighter across the CHARIS bandpass between $0.25$ and $1$. Comparing STIS/50CCD optical photometry ($2000-10500$ $r{A}$) with CHARIS NIR photometry, we find a red (STIS/50CCD$-$CHARIS broadband) color for both sides of the disk throughout the $0.4 - 1$ region of overlap, in contrast to the blue color reported at similar wavelengths for regions exterior to $sim 2$. Further, this color may suggest a smaller minimum grain size than previously estimated at larger separations. Finally, we provide constraints on planetary companions, and discuss possible mechanisms for the observed inner disk flux asymmetry and color.
We describe a new high-contrast imaging capability well suited for studying planet-forming disks: near-infrared (NIR) high-contrast spectropolarimetric imaging with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) system coupled with the Cor
onagraphic High Angular Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (CHARIS) integral field spectrograph (IFS). The advent of extreme adaptive optics (AO) systems, like SCExAO, has enabled recovery of planet-mass companions at the expected locations of gas-giant formation in young disks alongside disk structures (such as gaps or spirals) that may indicate protoplanet formation. In combination with SCExAO, the CHARIS IFS in polarimetry mode allows characterization of these systems at wavelengths spanning the NIR J, H, and K bands ($1.1-2.4$ $mu m$, $Rsim20$) and at angular separations as small as 0.04. By comparing the resulting images with forward-modeled scattered light or 3D radiative-transfer models, the likely origins of any observed features can be assessed. Utilization of swift optimization algorithms, such as differential evolution (DE), to identify model parameters that best reproduce the observations allows plausible disk geometries to be explored efficiently. The recent addition of CHARISs unique integral field spectropolarimetry mode has further facilitated the study of planet-forming disks -- aiding in the confirmation of candidate protoplanets, the diagnosis of disk structures, and the characterization of dust grain populations. We summarize preliminary results for two young planet-forming disk systems based on observations with the novel integral field spectropolarimetry mode for SCExAO/CHARIS.
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 spectroph
otometry using a new forward-modeling algorithm for (A-)LOCI complementary to KLIP-FM developed by Pueyo (2016). $kappa$ And bs spectrum best resembles that of a low-gravity L0--L1 dwarf (L0--L1$gamma$). Its spectrum and luminosity are very well matched by 2MASSJ0141-4633 and several other 12.5--15 $M_{rm J}$ free floating members of the 40 $Myr$-old Tuc-Hor Association, consistent with a system age derived from recent interferometric results for the primary, a companion mass at/near the deuterium-burning limit (13$^{+12}_{-2}$ M$_{rm J}$), and a companion-to-primary mass ratio characteristic of other directly-imaged planets ($q$ $sim$ 0.005$^{+0.005}_{-0.001}$). We did not unambiguously identify additional, more closely-orbiting companions brighter and more massive than $kappa$ And b down to $rho$ $sim$ 0.3 (15 au). SCExAO/CHARIS and complementary Keck/NIRC2 astrometric points reveal clockwise orbital motion. Modeling points towards a likely eccentric orbit: a subset of acceptable orbits include those that are aligned with the stars rotation axis. However, $kappa$ And bs semimajor axis is plausibly larger than 75 au and in a region where disk instability could form massive companions. Deeper $kappa$ And high-contrast imaging and low-resolution spectroscopy from extreme AO systems like SCExAO/CHARIS and higher resolution spectroscopy from Keck/OSIRIS or, later, IRIS on the Thirty Meter Telescope could help clarify $kappa$ And bs chemistry and whether its spectrum provides an insight into its formation environment.
We report the direct imaging discovery of a low-mass companion to the nearby accelerating A star, HIP 109427, with the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument coupled with the MKID Exoplanet Camera (MEC) and CHARIS integral f
ield spectrograph. CHARIS data reduced with reference star PSF subtraction yield 1.1-2.4 $mu$m spectra. MEC reveals the companion in $Y$ and $J$ band at a comparable signal-to-noise ratio using stochastic speckle discrimination, with no PSF subtraction techniques. Combined with complementary follow-up $L_{rm p}$ photometry from Keck/NIRC2, the SCExAO data favors a spectral type, effective temperature, and luminosity of M4-M5.5, 3000-3200 $K$, and $log_{10}(L/L_{rm odot}) = -2.28^{+0.04}_{-0.04}$, respectively. Relative astrometry of HIP 109427 B from SCExAO/CHARIS and Keck/NIRC2, and complementary Gaia-Hipparcos absolute astrometry of the primary favor a semimajor axis of $6.55^{+3.0}_{-0.48}$ au, an eccentricity of $0.54^{+0.28}_{-0.15}$, an inclination of $66.7^{+8.5}_{-14}$ degrees, and a dynamical mass of $0.280^{+0.18}_{-0.059}$ $M_{odot}$. This work shows the potential for extreme AO systems to utilize speckle statistics in addition to widely-used post-processing methods to directly image faint companions to nearby stars near the telescope diffraction limit.
