Scientific paper

We present a status report on the Subaru SEEDS sub-program to search for extra-solar planets around early-type (mostly A-type) stars. SEEDS, the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru, is a multi-year, direct-imaging survey to explore the link between planets and disks, and the evolution of protoplanetary systems and debris disks. With first observations carried out in 2009, the high-mass star sub-program uses the Subaru 8-meter Telescope, a 188 actuator curvature AO system (AO188), and a near infrared imaging science camera (HiCIAO) to search for exoplanet signatures. We describe the early-type star target sample, science goals, observing procedures, and early results.
