... Research . ... GPI Data Pipeline . ... GPI . ... My research focuses on high contrast imaging of circumstellar material: disks, envelopes, jets, and substellar companions. ... The second, harder challenge is achieving sufficiently high contrast: scattered light from circumstellar dust is faint, usually less than a percent of the total flux, sometimes far less. ... In addition to planet detection, GPI will also feature a polarimetric imaging mode for studies of circumstellar dust disks. ...

Comets necessarily obey the same physical laws as every other object. ... If one considers only two bodies -- either the Sun and a planet, or the Sun and a comet -- the smaller body appears to follow an elliptical path or orbit about the Sun, which is at one focus of the ellipse. ... Another quantity that is conserved is called angular momentum. ... Comets simply are bodies which in general have more angular momentum per unit mass than do planets and therefore move in more elongated orbits. ...
