Time-variable Scattered Light in Herbig Disks Observed with Subaru/SCExAO
Published in The Astronomical Journal, 2026
Using the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument, we present near-infrared K-band polarimetric imaging of nine Herbig stars selected from a volume-limited sample within 200 pc. We detect the disks around MWC 480, HD 163296, and HD 143006 for the first time with SCExAO, and compare these observations with previous Very Large Telescope/SPHERE datasets to identify surface-brightness variability. .
