JWST/NIRSpec Spectra for Three Ultracool Brown Dwarfs Detected in Extragalactic Surveys: Further Evidence for Phosphine Absorption

Kevin N. Hainline, Samuel A. Beiler, Adam J. Burgasser +14

We present JWST NIRSpec prism spectra for three ultracool brown dwarfs discovered in extragalactic survey data, two from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), and on…

Silicate Clouds, SiO, and Molecular Trends across the L-T Sequence: A JWST/MIRI LRS Spectral Library of Brown Dwarfs

Sam Barber, Stanimir Metchev, Genaro Suárez +12

We present the results of a survey program with JWST's MIRI LRS that obtained 514 m R~100 spectra of twenty-three L0T6 dwarfs. This spectral type range spans the formation…

Stellar Multiplicity of M Dwarfs with Short-period Giant Planets, and the Characterization of TOI-5628Ab

Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Charles Cadieux +33

Binary stars are ubiquitous, yet it remains unclear how wide-orbit stellar companions influence the formation of hot Jupiters, particularly around M dwarfs. Here, we first report t…

A Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to Search for Y Dwarf Variability

Michael C. Cushing, Jesica L. Trucks, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +10

We present the results of a Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to search for and characterize variability in Y dwarfs. We observed 14 Y dwarfs over a 24 hr period…

JWST NIRSpec Spectral Standards for M, L, and T Dwarfs and Subdwarfs

Evan Pritchard, Marylin Loritsch, Julia Haynes +3

We present low resolution infrared spectral standards in the 0.76 to 5.0 μm range based on JWST NIRspec Prism data from deep sky surveys. Our standards encompass spectral types M,…

NEXUS: Abundance, Environments, and Spectral Diversity of Little Red Dots from the NIRSpec MSA Sample

Zhiwei Pan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Yue Shen +6

We present a comprehensive study of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at 2.3 < z < 7.4 using NIRCam photometry and NIRSpec MSA/PRISM spectra from the ongoing NEXUS program. Photometric select…
