title: Direct Imaging of Exoplanetary Systems and ALMA

authors: Thayne Currie

abstract: 
When ALMA achieves full operational power in late 2012/early 2013, a new generation of near-IR instruments optimized for imaging young exoplanets (i.e. SCExAO on Subaru) will also come online.  In this talk, I summarize the current state of direct imaging, overview the near-term advances in direct imaging, and describe the scientific gain from studying young (10~100 Myr), debris-disk bearing systems with both ALMA and high-contrast imaging facilities like SCExAO.   In particular, I focus on 1) how ALMA can clarify the architecture of exoplanetary systems with debris disks and signposts of embedded planets/candidate planets (i.e. Fomalhaut) and 2) how ALMA could help constrain the physical properties (e.g. mass) and, perhaps, formation history of directly imaged exoplanets located interior/exterior to debris belts (i.e. HR 8799bcde).
