Recent observations by the B-star Exoplanet Abundance Study (BEAST) illustrate the existence of substellar companions around very massive stars. Here, we present the detection of two lower mass companions to a relatively nearby (148.7 −1.3 +1.5 pc), young (17 −4 +3 Myr), bright ( V = 6.632 ± 0.006 mag), 2.58 ± 0.06 M ⊙ B9V star HIP 81208...

We present SCExAO/CHARIS 1.1–2.4 μm integral field direct spectroscopy of the young HIP 79124 triple system. HIP 79124 is a member of the Scorpius-Centaurus association, consisting of an A0V primary with two low-mass companions at a projected separation of < 1″. Thanks to the high quality wavefront corrections provided by SCExAO, both...
