Title: β Pictoris' inner disk in polarized light and new orbital parameters for β Pictoris b

Abstract

Here, we present H-band observations of β Pic with the Gemini Planet Imager's (GPI's) polarimetry mode that reveal the debris disk between ~0farcs3 (6 AU) and ~1farcs7 (33 AU), while simultaneously detecting β Pic b. The polarized disk image was fit with a dust density model combined with a Henyey–Greenstein scattering phase function. The best-fit model indicates a disk inclined to the line of sight ($$\phi =85\buildrel{\circ}\over{.} {27}_{-0.19}^{+0.26}$$) with a position angle (PA) $${\theta }_{\mathrm{PA}}=30\buildrel{\circ}\over{.} {35}_{-0.28}^{+0.29}$$ (slightly offset from the main outer disk, $${\theta }_{\mathrm{PA}}\approx 29^\circ $$), that extends from an inner disk radius of $${23.6}_{-0.6}^{+0.9}\;\mathrm{AU}$$ to well outside GPI's field of view.
