Wide Separation Planets in Time (WISPIT): Discovery of a Gap Hα Protoplanet WISPIT 2b with MagAO-X

Excellent (<25 mas) H α images of the star TYC 5709-354-1 led to the discovery of a rare H α protoplanet. This star was discovered by the WISPIT survey to have a large multi-ring transitional disk, and is hereafter WISPIT 2. Our H α images of 2025 April 13 and 16 discovered an accreting (H α in e...
