UV-optical Emission of AB Aur b Is Consistent with Scattered Stellar Light

UV-optical Emission of AB Aur b Is Consistent with Scattered Stellar Light

The proposed protoplanet AB Aur b is a spatially concentrated emission source imaged in the millimeter-wavelength disk gap of the Herbig Ae/Be star AB Aur. Its near-infrared spectrum and absence of strong polarized light have been interpreted as evidence supporting the protoplanet interpretation. Ho...
