Asymmetric nightside CO2 features, inefficient heat transport, and precise evolutionary constraints: Spectroscopic phase curves reveal the past and present of a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary
Daphne Broski-Laing, Yifan Zhou, Joshua D. Lothringer +10
We present the first JWST phase curve of a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary, a NIRSpec PRISM observation of ZTFJ0038+2030. Short-period white dwarf-brown dwarf binaries provide uniqu…
Phase-resolved Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 Spectroscopy of Weakly-Irradiated Brown Dwarf GD 1400 and Energy Redistribution-Irradiation Trends in Six WDBD Binaries
Rachael C. Amaro, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +8
Irradiated brown dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between stellar and planetary atmospheres. We present high-quality /WFC3/G141 phase-resolved spec…
The only inflated brown dwarf in an eclipsing white dwarf-brown dwarf binary: WD1032+011B
Jenni R. French, Sarah L. Casewell, Rachael C. Amaro +9
Due to their short orbital periods and relatively high flux ratios, irradiated brown dwarfs in binaries with white dwarfs offer better opportunities to study irradiated atmospheres…
Atmospheric Retrievals of the Phase-resolved Spectra of Irradiated Brown Dwarfs WD-0137B and EPIC-2122B
Joshua D. Lothringer, Yifan Zhou, Daniel Apai +3
We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis of HST/WFC3/G141 spectroscopic phase curve observations of two brown dwarfs, WD-0137B and EPIC-2122B, in ultra-short period orbits arou…
HST/WFC3 Complete Phase-resolved Spectroscopy of White Dwarf-Brown Dwarf Binaries WD 0137 and EPIC 2122
Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Xianyu Tan +7
Brown dwarfs in close-in orbits around white dwarfs offer an excellent opportunity to investigate properties of fast-rotating, tidally-locked, and highly-irradiated atmospheres. We…
Mapping the pressure-dependent day-night temperature contrast of a strongly irradiated atmosphere with HST spectroscopic phase curve
Ben W. P. Lew, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +6
Many brown dwarfs are on ultra-short period and tidally-locked orbits around white dwarf hosts. Because of these small orbital separations, the brown dwarfs are irradiated at level…
Evolution of Exoplanets and their Parent Stars
Tristan Guillot, Douglas N. C. Lin, Pierre Morel +2
Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with par…
