PRE-DISCOVERY 2007 IMAGE OF THE HR 8799 PLANETARY SYSTEM
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We present a pre-discovery H -band image of the HR 8799 planetary system that reveals all three planets in 2007 August. The data were obtained with the Keck adaptive optics system, using angular differential imaging and a coronagraph. We confirm the physical association of all three planets, including HR 8799d, which had only been detected in 2008 images taken two months apart, and whose association with HR 8799 was least secure until now. We confirm that the planets are 2–3 mag fainter than field brown dwarfs of comparable near-infrared colors. We note that similar underluminosity is characteristic of young substellar objects at the L/T spectral type transition, and is likely due to enhanced dust content and non-equilibrium CO/CH 4 chemistry in their atmospheres. Finally, we place an upper limit of ≳18 mag arcsec −2 on the >120 AU H -band dust-scattered light from the HR 8799 debris disk. The corresponding integrated scattered light flux is <10 −4 times the photospheric level, 24 times fainter than for the debris ring around HR 4796A.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
