• Identifying individual EGP candidates for astrometric, photometric, spectroscopic follow-up.
• Will provide statistics on EGP population distribution at orbital distances beyond the current reach of Radial Velocity surveys.
• Will inform on minimum mass for Jeans mass fragmentation (e.g., Low & Bell 176 367 (1976), suggested at ~ 7 Mjup), with detection sensitivities in the 1 - 10 Mjup range at 10’s to 100’s of AU.

At 0.9 microns the 2M1207b: - has an apparent magnitude of +22.3 (08/28/2004) - is 720 times fainter than 2M1207 (mag +15.20) - is 44 times fainter than it is at 1.6 microns
NICMOS observations exploit the stability of the HST Point Spread Function to reduce the background light from2M1207A and improve the image contrasts.

The 2M1207 System
MASS(A) ~ 25 Mjup, MASS(b) < ~ 5 Mjup
Model Dependent: Burrows et al 1997, Chabrier et al 2000, Baraffe et al 2001
2M1207A mass derived from surface gravity from spectral line shapes (Mohantey et al 2003*) with distance and Teff get luminosity and radius.Distance uncertain by ~ 30% (70 ± 20 pc). Need trigonometric parallax!
How “GOOD” are Non-Dynamical Mass Estimates?(Corollary: How “good” are the models?)
*For upper Sco Baraffe may overestimate mass, so 2M1207b < 5 Mjup?
AB Dor. Models suggest BD mass. Close et al (2005) dynamical observations suggests models underestimate substellar masses.AB Dor at Stellar/BD boundary. Gabor/Mohantey suggest models will underestimate masses in that domain but may overestimate planetary masses.
