Congratulations to Kunal Mehta, former NSF REU student at UT-Austin and current UMich postbac, on his paper being accepted by AJ, characterizing the sensitivity of our empirical PSF-fitting algorithm to companions with WFC3/IR. In the first paper in a series for our Hubble Ultracool Multiplicity (HUM) survey, he demonstrated the ability to recover companions at sub-diffraction limit levels with WFC3/IR and recovered brown dwarf binaries previously unresolved from other programs.
