Accelerating and scaling mentoring strategies to build infrastructure that supports underrepresented groups in STEM
2030STEM Collaboration, Jennifer D. Adams, David Asai +13
The vision of 2030STEM is to address systemic barriers in institutional structures and funding mechanisms required to achieve full inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering, an…
Detecting Biosignatures in the Atmospheres of Gas Dwarf Planets with the James Webb Space Telescope
Caprice Phillips, Ji Wang, Sarah Kendrew +5
Exoplanets with radii between those of Earth and Neptune have stronger surface gravity than Earth, and can retain a sizable hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. In contrast to gas giant…
Chemical and Isotopic Homogeneity Between the L Dwarf CD-35 2722 B and its Early M Host Star
Gavin Wang, Jerry Xuan, DarÃo Picos +29
CD-35 2722 B is an L dwarf companion to the nearby, Myr old M1 dwarf CD-35 2722 A. We present a detailed analysis of both objects using high-resolution ($R \sim 35,00…
Twinkle -- a small satellite spectroscopy mission for the next phase of exoplanet science
Ian Stotesbury, Billy Edwards, Jean-Francois Lavigne +35
With a focus on off-the-shelf components, Twinkle is the first in a series of cost competitive small satellites managed and financed by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The satellite is based…
Validation of elemental and isotopic abundances in late-M spectral types with the benchmark HIP 55507 AB system
Jerry W. Xuan, Jason J. Wang, Luke Finnerty +48
M dwarfs are common host stars to exoplanets but often lack atmospheric abundance measurements. Late-M dwarfs are also good analogs to the youngest substellar companions, which sha…
Is LTT 1445 Ab a Hycean World or a cold Haber World? Exploring the Potential of Twinkle to Unveil Its Nature
Caprice Phillips, Ji Wang, Billy Edwards +3
We explore the prospects for Twinkle to determine the atmospheric composition of the nearby terrestrial-like planet LTT 1445 Ab, including the possibility of detecting the potentia…
2MASS J04435686+3723033 B: A Young Companion at the Substellar Boundary with Potential Membership in the Pictoris Moving Group
Caprice Phillips, Brendan Bowler, Gregory Mace +2
We present a detailed characterization of 2MASS J04435750+3723031, a low-mass companion orbiting the young M2 star, 2MASS J04435686+3723033, at 7.6 arcseconds (550 AU) with potenti…
