Aims. The purpose of this paper is to detect and investigate the nature of long-term radial velocity (RV) variations of K-type giants and to confirm planetary companions around the stars. Methods. We have conducted two planet search programs by precise RV measurement using the 1.8 m telescope at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) and the 1.88 m telescope at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO). The BOAO program searches for planets around 55 early K giants. The OAO program is looking for 190 G-K type giants. Results. In this paper, we report the detection of long-period RV variations of three K giant stars, HD 40956, HD 111591, and HD 113996. We investigated the cause of the observed RV variations and conclude the substellar companions are most likely the cause of the RV variations. The orbital analyses yield P = 578.6 $pm$ 3.3 d, $m$ sin $i$ = 2.7 $pm$ 0.6 $M_{rm{J}}$, $a$ = 1.4 $pm$ 0.1 AU for HD 40956; P = 1056.4 $pm$ 14.3 d, $m$ sin $i$ = 4.4 $pm$ 0.4 $M_{rm{J}}$, $a$ = 2.5 $pm$ 0.1 AU for HD 111591; P = 610.2 $pm$ 3.8 d, $m$ sin $i$ = 6.3 $pm$ 1.0 $M_{rm{J}}$, $a$ = 1.6 $pm$ 0.1 AU for HD 113996.

We report the discovery of long-period radial velocity (RV) variations in six intermediate-mass K-giant stars using precise RV measurements. These discoveries are part of the Search for Exoplanets around Northern Circumpolar Stars (SENS) survey being
conducted at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory. The nature of the RV variations was investigated by looking for photometric and line shape variations. We can find no variability with the RV period in these quantities and conclude that RV variations are most likely due to unseen sub-stellar companions. Orbital solutions for the six stars yield orbital periods in the range 418-1065 days and minimum masses in the range 1.9-8.5 MJ. These properties are typical on planets around intermediate-mass stars. Our SENS survey so far has about an 8% confirmed planet occurrence rate, and it will provide better statistics on planets around giant stars when the survey is completed.
We report the detection of three new exoplanets from Keck Observatory. HD 163607 is a metal-rich G5IV star with two planets. The inner planet has an observed orbital period of 75.29 $pm$ 0.02 days, a semi-amplitude of 51.1 $pm$ 1.4 ms, an eccentricit
y of 0.73 $pm$ 0.02 and a derived minimum mass of msini = 0.77 $pm$ 0.02 mjup. This is the largest eccentricity of any known planet in a multi-planet system. The argument of periastron passage is 78.7 $pm$ 2.0$^{circ}$; consequently, the planets closest approach to its parent star is very near the line of sight, leading to a relatively high transit probability of 8%. The outer planet has an orbital period of 3.60 $pm$ 0.02 years, an orbital eccentricity of 0.12 $pm$ 0.06 and a semi-amplitude of 40.4 $pm$ 1.3 ms. The minimum mass is msini = 2.29 $pm$ 0.16 mjup. HD 164509 is a metal-rich G5V star with a planet in an orbital period of 282.4 $pm$ 3.8 days and an eccentricity of 0.26 $pm$ 0.14. The semi-amplitude of 14.2 $pm$ 2.7 ms implies a minimum mass of 0.48 $pm$ 0.09 mjup. The radial velocities of HD 164509 also exhibit a residual linear trend of -5.1 $pm$ 0.7 ms per year, indicating the presence of an additional longer period companion in the system. Photometric observations demonstrate that HD 163607 and HD 164509 are constant in brightness to sub-millimag levels on their radial velocity periods. This provides strong support for planetary reflex motion as the cause of the radial velocity variations.
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
by a pre-transitional disk, composed of at least three rings. While claims of sub-stellar objects around this star have been made previously, follow-up studies remain inconclusive. We used SPHERE at ESO VLT to obtain a sequence of high-contrast images of the immediate surroundings of this star over about three years. This enables a photometric and astrometric analysis of the structures in the disk. While we were unable to definitively confirm the previous claims of a massive sub-stellar object at 0.1-0.15 arcsec from the star, we found both spirals and blobs within the disk. The spiral pattern may be explained as due to the presence of a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary arm excited by a planet of a few Jupiter masses lying along the primary arm, likely in the cavities between the rings. The blobs orbit the star consistently with Keplerian motion, allowing a dynamical determination of the mass of the star. While most of these blobs are located within the rings, we found that one of them lies in the cavity between the rings, along the primary arm of the spiral design. This blob might be due to a planet that might also be responsible for the spiral pattern observed within the rings and for the cavity between the two rings. The planet itself is not detected at short wavelengths, where we only see a dust cloud illuminated by stellar light, but the planetary photosphere might be responsible for the emission observed in the K band. The mass of this putative planet may be constrained using photometric and dynamical arguments; it should be between 1 and 4 Jupiter masses. The brightest blobs are found at the 1:2 resonance with this putative planet
In order to look for signs of on-going planet formation in young disks, we carried out the first J-band polarized emission imaging of the Herbig Ae/Be stars HD 150193, HD 163296, and HD 169142 using the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), along with new H ba
nd observations of HD 144432. We confirm the complex double ring structure for the nearly face-on system HD 169142 first seen in H-band, finding the outer ring to be substantially redder than the inner one in polarized intensity. Using radiative transfer modeling, we developed a physical model that explains the full spectral energy distribution (SED) and J- and H-band surface brightness profiles, suggesting that the differential color of the two rings could come from reddened starlight traversing the inner wall and may not require differences in grain properties. In addition, we clearly detect an elongated, off-center ring in HD 163296 (MWC 275), locating the scattering surface to be 18 AU above the midplane at a radial distance of 77 AU, co-spatial with a ring seen at 1.3mm by ALMA linked to the CO snow line. Lastly, we report a weak tentative detection of scattered light for HD 150193 (MWC 863) and a non-detection for HD 144432; the stellar companion known for each of these targets has likely disrupted the material in the outer disk of the primary star. For HD 163296 and HD 169142, the prominent outer rings we detect could be evidence for giant planet formation in the outer disk or a manifestation of large-scale dust growth processes possibly related to snow-line chemistry.
VLT/NaCo angular differential imaging at L (3.8 microns) revealed a probable giant planet comoving with the young and early-type HD 95086 also known to harbor an extended debris disk. The discovery was based on the proper motion analysis of two datas
ets spanning 15 months. However, the second dataset suffered from bad atmospheric conditions, which limited the significance of the redetection at the 3 sigma level. In this Letter, we report new VLT/NaCo observations of HD 95086 obtained on 2013 June 26-27 at L to recover the planet candidate. We unambiguously redetect the companion HD 95086 b with multiple independent pipelines at a signal-to-noise ratio greater than or equal to 5. Combined with previously reported measurements, our astrometry decisively shows that the planet is comoving with HD 95086 and inconsistent with a background object. With a revised mass of 5 pm 2 Jupiter masses, estimated from its L photometry and hot-start models at 17 pm 4 Myr, HD 95086 b becomes a new benchmark for further physical and orbital characterization of young giant planets.
