Statistics

Scientific paper

We have carried out a search of 109 nearby young stars with HST/NICMOS. Camera 2 coronagraphic observations with the F160W (H-band) filter, utilizing the roll subtraction technique to remove the science target point spread function, provide companion sensitivity below the deuterium burning limit for nearly all targets at separations as close as 0.7 arc sec from the center of the coronagraph. This talk will present a status report, current statistics, and the overall sensitivity achieved by this space-based coronagraphic survey.
