We investigate high resolution imaging polarimetry of HD 169142 taken in the R and I bands with the SPHERE/ZIMPOL instrument for an accurate quantitative measurement of the radiation scattered by the circumstellar disk. We observe a strong dependence of the disk polarimetry on the atmospheric turbulences, which strongly impact the AO performance. With our non-coronagraphic data we can analyze the polarimetric signal of the disk simultaneously with the strongly variable stellar PSF, correct for the convolution effects to determine the intrinsic polarization of the disk with high precision. We also extract the disk intensity signal and derive the fractional polarization. We compare the scattered flux from the inner and outer disk rings with the corresponding thermal dust emissions measured in the IR and estimate the ratio between scattered and absorbed radiation. We obtain ratios between the integrated disk polarization flux and total system flux of 0.43% for the R band and 0.55% for the I band. This indicates a reddish color for the light reflection by the dust. The inner disk ring contributes about 75% to the total disk flux. The obtained fractional polarization for the bright inner disk ring is 23.6% for the I band and similar for the R band. The ratio between scattered disk flux and star flux is about 2.3%. This is much smaller than the derived IR excess of 17.6% for the disk components observed in scattered light. This indicates that only a small fraction of the radiation illuminating the disk is scattered; most is absorbed and reemitted in the IR. We conclude that accurate, quantitative measurements of the scattered light from circumstellar disks are possible with ground based high contrast AO systems, if the PSF convolution effects are properly taken into account, and this provides important new constraints on the properties of the scattering dust.
We report the detection of a faint pointlike feature possibly related to ongoing planet-formation in the disk of the transition disk star HD 169142. The pointlike feature has a $Delta$mag(L)$sim$6.4, at a separation of $sim$0.11 and PA$sim$0$^{circ}$
We present high-precision photometry and polarimetry for the protoplanetary disk around HD142527, with a focus on determining the light scattering parameters of the dust. We re-reduced polarimetric differential imaging data of HD142527 in the VBB (73
We present high-contrast angular differential imaging (ADI) observations of the debris disk around HD 32297 in H-band, as well as the first polarimetric images for this system in polarized differential imaging (PDI) mode with Subaru/HICIAO. In ADI, w
The Herbig Ae star HD 169142 is known to have a gaseous disk with a large inner hole, and also a photometrically variable inner dust component in the sub-au region. Following up our previous analysis, we further studied the temporal evolution of inne
Young planets are expected to cause perturbations in protostellar disks that may be used to infer their presence. Clear detection of still-forming planets embedded within gas-rich disks is rare. HD 169142 is a very young Herbig Ae-Be star surrounded
