New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs

Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36

We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…

A High-Resolution Spectroscopic Survey of Directly Imaged Companion Hosts: I. Determination of diagnostic stellar abundances for planet formation and composition

Aneesh Baburaj, Quinn M. Konopacky, Christopher A. Theissen +6

We present the first results of an extensive spectroscopic survey of directly imaged planet host stars. The goal of the survey is the measurement of stellar properties and abundanc…

Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit

Adam J. Burgasser, Roman Gerasimov, Kyle Kremer +18

We report the discovery of a high velocity, very low-mass star or brown dwarf whose kinematics suggest it is unbound to the Milky Way. CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 was identified by c…

Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3

Michaël Gillon, Peter P. Pedersen, Benjamin V. Rackham +81

Located at the bottom of the main sequence, ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low luminosity has left their planetary p…

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- II. Discovery of Brown Dwarfs in NGC 6397 and Measurement of Age from the Brown Dwarf Cooling Sequence, using SANDee - a New Grid of Model Isochrones across the Hydrogen-Burning Limit

Roman Gerasimov, Luigi R. Bedin, Adam J. Burgasser +4

Globular clusters contain vast repositories of metal-poor stars that represent some of the oldest stellar generations in the Universe. The archaeological footprint of early Galacti…

The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP). VI. Ultracool Dwarf Radial and Rotational Velocities from SDSS/APOGEE High-resolution Spectroscopy

Chih-Chun Hsu, Adam J. Burgasser, Christopher A. Theissen +11

We present precise measurements of radial (RV) and projected rotational () velocities, effective temperatures, and surface gravities of a sample of 258 M6 to L2 dwarfs wi…
