The purpose of the SEEDS (Subaru Strategic Explorations of Exoplanets and Disks) project is to conduct a direct imaging survey, searching for giant planets as well as protoplanetary/debris disks at a few to a few tens of AU region around ∼ 500 nearby solar-type or more massive young stars with the combination of the Subaru 8.2m telescope, the new high-contrast instrument HiCIAO and the adaptive optics system. After instrument performance verification, the SEEDS survey successfully started in October 2009. Although interrupted by a trouble of the AO188 deformable mirror, we have detected many companion candidates to be followed-up, and clear and much better detections of disks or details of known disks structures. In this talk, we will outline our goal, current status, and early results.
