Warm exo-Zodi from cool exo-Kuiper belts: The significance of P-R drag and the inference of intervening planets [PDF]
, 2015 Poynting-Robertson drag has been considered an ineffective mechanism for delivering dust to regions interior to the cool Kuiper belt analogues seen around other Sun-like stars.

Characterization of the gaseous companion �� Andromedae b: New Keck and LBTI high-contrast observations [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 We previously reported the direct detection of a low mass companion at a projected separation of 55+-2 AU around the B9 type star Andromedae. The properties of the system (mass ratio, separation) make it a benchmark for the understanding of the formation and evolution of gas giant planets and brown dwarfs on wide-orbits.

MEAD: data reduction pipeline for ALES integral field spectrograph and LBTI thermal infrared calibration unit [PDF]
Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VII, 2018 We present the data reduction pipeline, MEAD, for Arizona Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (ALES), the first thermal infrared integral field spectrograph designed for high-contrast imaging. ALES is an upgrade of LMIRCam, the $1-5\, $m imaging camera for the Large Binocular Telescope, capable of observing astronomical objects in the thermal infrared
