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…
NGTS-EB-8: A double-lined eclipsing M+M binary discovered by citizen scientists
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Christopher A. Watson +54
We report the identification and characterization of a new binary system composed of two near-equal mass M-dwarfs. The binary NGTS-EB-8 was identified as a planet candidate in data…
High Proper Motion Discoveries from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
Wings Zhang, Adam C. Schneider, Thomas P. Bickle +31
We used the third data release of the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey to locate previously unrecognized high proper motion objects. We identify a total of 127 new discoveries with total pr…
Discovery of 118 New Ultracool Dwarf Candidates Using Machine Learning Techniques
Hunter Brooks, Dan Caselden, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +44
We present the discovery of 118 new ultracool dwarf candidates, discovered using a new machine learning tool, named \texttt{SMDET}, applied to time series images from the Wide-fiel…
Thirteen New M Dwarf + T Dwarf Pairs Identified with WISE/NEOWISE
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam C. Schneider +31
We present the discovery of 13 new widely separated T dwarf companions to M dwarf primaries, identified using WISE/NEOWISE data by the CatWISE and Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project…
89 New Ultracool Dwarf Co-Moving Companions Identified With The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Daniella Bardalez-Gagliuffi +43
We report the identification of 89 new systems containing ultracool dwarf companions to main sequence stars and white dwarfs, using the citizen science project Backyard Worlds: Pla…
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…
Substellar Hyades Candidates from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
Adam C. Schneider, Frederick J. Vrba, Jeffrey A. Munn +14
We have used data from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey (UHS) to search for substellar members of the Hyades cluster. Our search recovered several known substellar Hyades members, and t…
Planet Hunters TESS IV: A massive, compact hierarchical triple star system TIC 470710327
Nora L. Eisner, Cole Johnston, Silvia Toonen +37
We report the discovery and analysis of a massive, compact, hierarchical triple system (TIC 470710327) initially identified by citizen scientists in data obtained by NASA's Transit…
Discovery of 16 New Members of the Solar Neighborhood using Proper Motions from CatWISE2020
Tarun Kota, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Dan Caselden +17
In an effort to identify nearby and unusual cold objects in the solar neighborhood, we searched for previously unidentified moving objects using CatWISE2020 proper motion data comb…
The Field Substellar Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 525 L, T, and Y Dwarfs
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Christopher R. Gelino, Jacqueline K. Faherty +49
We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of th…
Spitzer Follow-up of Extremely Cold Brown Dwarfs Discovered by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Aaron M. Meisner, Jacqueline K. Faherty, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +40
We present Spitzer follow-up imaging of 95 candidate extremely cold brown dwarfs discovered by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project, which uses visually perceived…
