Discovery of a Nearby Young Brown Dwarf Disk

M. C. Schutte, K. D. Lawson, J. P. Wisniewski +15

We report the discovery of the youngest brown dwarf with a disk at 102 pc from the Sun, WISEA~J120037.79-784508.3 (W1200-7845), via the Disk Detective citizen science project. We e…

Type I Planet Migration in a Magnetized Disk. I. Effect of Large-Scale Vertical and Azimuthal Field Components

Ana Uribe, Alissa Bans, Arieh Königl

We study the effects of a large-scale, ordered magnetic field in protoplanetary disks on Type I planet migration using a combination of numerical simulations in 2D and 3D and a lin…

A Disk-Wind Model for the Near-Infrared Excess Emission in Protostars

Alissa Bans, Arieh Konigl

Protostellar systems, ranging from low-luminosity T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars to high-luminosity Herbig Be stars, exhibit a near-infrared (NIR) excess in their spectra that is domi…

SGAS 143845.1+145407: A Big, Cool Starburst at Redshift 0.816

Michael D. Gladders, Jane R. Rigby, Keren Sharon +14

We present the discovery and a detailed multi-wavelength study of a strongly-lensed luminous infrared galaxy at z=0.816. Unlike most known lensed galaxies discovered at optical or…
