Carina is a nearby young stellar association. So far, only a small number of stars have been clearly identified as members of this association. In this paper we reanalyse the membership of the association in light of Gaia DR2 data, in particular finding that HD 95086 is a potential member (probability of 71%). This star is noteworthy as one of the few stars that hosts both a detected debris disc and a directly imaged planet. It has previously only been considered as a potential member of the Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC) - part of the Scorpius-Centaurus association. We also reanalyse the age of the Carina association. Using a Bayesian inference code applied to infer a solution from stellar evolution models for the most probable (>99%) members of Carina, we infer an age for the association of 13.3$^{+1.1}_{-0.6}$ Myr, much younger than previous studies. Whilst we have revised HD 95086s association membership from LCC to Carina, the fact that we also find Carina to have a younger age, similar to that of LCC, means that the estimates of HD 95086bs mass remain unchanged. However, the younger age of Carina does mean that the companion to another Carina member, HD 44627 (or AB Pic), has a mass that is more clearly in the planet rather than brown dwarf range.

The reality of a field Argus Association has been doubted in some papers in the literature. We apply Gaia DR2 data to stars previously suggested to be Argus members and conclude that a true association exists with age 40-50 Myr and containing many st
ars within 100 pc of Earth; Beta Leo and 49 Cet are two especially interesting members. Based on youth and proximity to Earth, Argus is one of the better nearby moving groups to target in direct imaging programs for dusty debris disks and young planets.
HD 95086 is an intermediate-mass debris-disk-bearing star. VLT/NaCo $3.8 mu m$ observations revealed it hosts a $5pm2 mathrm{M}_{Jup}$ companion (HD 95086 b) at $simeq 56$ AU. Follow-up observations at 1.66 and 2.18 $mu m$ yielded a null detection, s
uggesting extremely red colors for the planet and the need for deeper direct-imaging data. In this Letter, we report H- ($1.7 mu m$) and $mathrm{K}_1$- ($2.05 mu m$) band detections of HD 95086 b from Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) commissioning observations taken by the GPI team. The planet position in both spectral channels is consistent with the NaCo measurements and we confirm it to be comoving. Our photometry yields colors of H-L= $3.6pm 1.0$ mag and K$_1$-L=$2.4pm 0.7$ mag, consistent with previously reported 5-$sigma$ upper limits in H and Ks. The photometry of HD 95086 b best matches that of 2M 1207 b and HR 8799 cde. Comparing its spectral energy distribution with the BT-SETTL and LESIA planet atmospheric models yields T$_{mathrm{eff}}sim$600-1500 K and log g$sim$2.1-4.5. Hot-start evolutionary models yield M=$5pm2$ M$_{Jup}$. Warm-start models reproduce the combined absolute fluxes of the object for M=4-14 M$_{Jup}$ for a wide range of plausible initial conditions (S$_{init}$=8-13 k$_{B}$/baryon). The color-magnitude diagram location of HD 95086 b and its estimated T$_{mathrm{eff}}$ and log g suggest that the planet is a peculiar L-T transition object with an enhanced amount of photospheric dust.
Only four star clusters are known within ~100 pc of Earth. Of these, the Chi1 For cluster has barely been studied. We use the Gaia DR2 catalog and other published data to establish the cluster membership, structure, and age. The age of and distance t
o the cluster are ~40 Myr and 104 pc, respectively. A remarkable, unprecedented, aspect of the cluster is the large percentage of M-type stars with warm excess infrared emission due to orbiting dust grains -- these stars lie in an annulus that straddles the tidal radius of the cluster. The Chi1 For cluster appears to be closely related to two extensive, previously known, groups of co-moving, coeval stars (the Tucana-Horologium and Columba Associations) that are spread over much of the southern sky. While Tuc-Hor and Chi1 For are comoving and coeval, the difference in the frequency of their warm dusty debris disks at M-type stars could hardly be more dramatic.
We present sensitive observations carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) of the dusty debris disk HD 95086. These observations were made in bands 6 (223 GHz) and 7 (338 GHz) with an angular resolution of about 1$$ wh
ich allowed us to resolve well the debris disk with a deconvolved size of 7.0$$ $times$ 6.0$$ and with an inner depression of about 2$$. We do not detect emission from the star itself and the possible inner dusty belt. We also do not detect CO (J=2-1) and (J=3-2) emission, excluding the possibility of an evolved gaseous primordial disk as noted in previous studies of HD95086. We estimated a lower limit for the gas mass of $leq$0.01 M$_oplus$ for the debris disk of HD95086. From the mm. emission, we computed a dust mass for the debris disk HD95086 of 0.5$pm$0.2 M$_oplus$, resulting in a dust-to-gas ratio of $geq$50. Finally, we confirm the detection of a strong submillimeter source to the northwest of the disk (ALMA-SMM1) revealed by recent ALMA observations. This new source might be interpreted as a planet in formation on the periphery of the debris disk HD 95086 or as a strong impact between dwarf planets. However, given the absence of the proper motions of ALMA-SMM1 similar to those reported in the debris disk (estimated from these new ALMA observations) and for the optical star, this is more likely to be a submillimeter background galaxy.
The physical properties of brown dwarf companions found to orbit nearby, solar-type stars can be benchmarked against independent measures of their mass, age, chemical composition, and other parameters, offering insights into the evolution of substell
ar objects. The TRENDS high-contrast imaging survey has recently discovered a (mass/age/metallicity) benchmark brown dwarf orbiting the nearby (d=18.69+/-0.19 pc), G8V/K0V star HD 4747. We have acquired follow-up spectroscopic measurements of HD 4747 B using the Gemini Planet Imager to study its spectral type, effective temperature, surface gravity, and cloud properties. Observations obtained in the H-band and K1-band recover the companion and reveal that it is near the L/T transition (T1+/-2). Fitting atmospheric models to the companion spectrum, we find strong evidence for the presence of clouds. However, spectral models cannot satisfactorily fit the complete data set: while the shape of the spectrum can be well-matched in individual filters, a joint fit across the full passband results in discrepancies that are a consequence of the inherent color of the brown dwarf. We also find a $2sigma$ tension in the companion mass, age, and surface gravity when comparing to evolutionary models. These results highlight the importance of using benchmark objects to study secondary effects such as metallicity, non-equilibrium chemistry, cloud parameters, electron conduction, non-adiabatic cooling, and other subtleties affecting emergent spectra. As a new L/T transition benchmark, HD 4747 B warrants further investigation into the modeling of cloud physics using higher resolution spectroscopy across a broader range of wavelengths, polarimetric observations, and continued Doppler radial velocity and astrometric monitoring.
