Imaging of High Mass Planets, Brown Dwarfs and Dust Rings around Main
Sequence Stars

We have used the NICMOS camera on the Hubble Space Telescope and
the NIRC camera on the Keck I Telescope to search for high mass planets
(HMP) orbiting young nearby stars. If present cooling models are correct,
we should be able to image objects whose mass is only a few Jupiter masses.
Results of the search to date are discussed, including the discovery of two
brown dwarfs and one very interesting HMP candidate. Future prospects with
the cryo-cooler on NICMOS and with adaptive optics on Keck II are also
discussed
