A SPHEREx Pipeline and Spectral Library for Ultracool Dwarfs

Jonathan Gagné, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Azul Ruiz Diaz +72

We present a Python spectrophotometry extraction tool tailored for fast-moving point sources detected in the SPHEREx mission, and use it to construct a set of 0.75-5.0 m low-res…

Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project

Adam C. Schneider, Marc J. Kuchner, Jacqueline K. Faherty +73

The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we pr…

The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85

A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…

The TESS Triple-9 Catalog II: a new set of 999 uniformly-vetted exoplanet candidates

Christian Magliano, Veselin Kostov, Luca Cacciapuoti +20

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission is providing the scientific community with millions of light curves of stars spread across the whole sky. Since 2018 the te…

Peter Pan Disks: Long-lived Accretion Disks Around Young M Stars

Steven M. Silverberg, John P. Wisniewski, Marc J. Kuchner +12

WISEA J080822.18-644357.3, an M star in the Carina association, exhibits extreme infrared excess and accretion activity at an age greater than the expected accretion disk lifetime.…

Size and Shape Constraints of (486958) Arrokoth from Stellar Occultations

Marc W. Buie, Simon B. Porter, Peter Tamblyn +130

We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detecti…

Disk Detective: Discovery of New Circumstellar Disk Candidates through Citizen Science

Marc J. Kuchner, Steven M. Silverberg, Alissa S. Bans +23

The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with 22 micron excess emission from circumstellar dust using data from NASA's WISE mission. Initial cuts on the Al…
