SCExAO/CHARIS Spectroscopic Characterization of Cloudy L/T Transition Companion Brown Dwarf HIP 93398 B
Briley Lewis, Yiting Li, Aidan Gibbs +10
Brown dwarfs with measured dynamical masses and spectra from direct imaging are benchmarks that anchor substellar atmosphere cooling and evolution models. We present Subaru SCExAO/…
The cool brown dwarf Gliese 229 B is a close binary
Jerry W. Xuan, A. Mérand, W. Thompson +76
Owing to their similarities with giant exoplanets, brown dwarf companions of stars provide insights into the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution. From their orb…
Direct-imaging Discovery of a Substellar Companion Orbiting the Accelerating Variable Star, HIP 39017
Taylor L. Tobin, Thayne Currie, Yiting Li +23
We present the direct-imaging discovery of a substellar companion (a massive planet or low-mass brown dwarf) to the young, Doradus-type variable star, HIP 39017 (HD 65526). The…
An Adaptive Optics Census of Companions to Northern Stars Within 25 pc with Robo-AO
Maissa Salama, Carl Ziegler, Christoph Baranec +8
In order to assess the multiplicity statistics of stars across spectral types and populations in a volume-limited sample, we censused nearby stars for companions with Robo-AO. We r…
Trigonometric parallaxes of two T dwarfs with Keck and ShaneAO astrometry
Jayke Nguyen, S. Mark Ammons, Kaitlin Dennison +4
We present trigonometric parallax and proper motion measurements for two T-type brown dwarfs. We derive our measurements from infrared laser guide star adaptive optics observations…
Large Adaptive Optics Survey for Substellar Objects (LASSO) Around Young, Nearby, Low-mass Stars with Robo-AO
Maissa Salama, James Ou, Christoph Baranec +16
We present results from the Large Adaptive optics Survey for Substellar Objects (LASSO), where the goal is to directly image new substellar companions (<70 M) at wide orbit…
TESS Asteroseismology of Mensae: Benchmark Ages for a G7 Dwarf and its M-dwarf Companion
Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Travis A. Berger +27
Asteroseismology of bright stars has become increasingly important as a method to determine fundamental properties (in particular ages) of stars. The Kepler Space Telescope initiat…
Robo-AO M Dwarf Multiplicity Survey: Catalog
Claire Lamman, Christoph Baranec, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +10
We analyze observations from Robo-AO's field M dwarf survey taken on the 2.1m Kitt Peak telescope and perform a multiplicity comparison with Gaia DR2. Through its laser-guided, aut…
Robo-AO Kepler Asteroseismic Survey. II. Do Stellar Companions Inhibit Stellar Oscillations?
Jessica Schonhut-Stasik, Daniel Huber, Christoph Baranec +7
The Kepler space telescope observed over 15,000 stars for asteroseismic studies. Of these, 75% of dwarfs (and 8% of giants) were found to show anomalous behavior: such as suppresse…
Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun
E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18
At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…
