Descripción
Superjupiters are much brigther when they are young and still
contracting, and the contrast with the harboring stars is significantly
more favorable for their detection. Within the JOVIAN (Jupiter-like
Objects in the Visible and the Infrared: Astrophysical Nature) project,
a search has been performed for superjupiters around nearby young stars
using 4 m class telescopes. Here we summarize the results and present
prospects for a future search around young and also relatively older
nearby stars with the 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias and the mid-infrared
camera CanariCam.
