HST/WFC3 Complete Phase-resolved Spectroscopy of White Dwarf-Brown Dwarf Binaries WD 0137 and EPIC 2122
Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Xianyu Tan +7
Brown dwarfs in close-in orbits around white dwarfs offer an excellent opportunity to investigate properties of fast-rotating, tidally-locked, and highly-irradiated atmospheres. We…

Mapping the pressure-dependent day-night temperature contrast of a strongly irradiated atmosphere with HST spectroscopic phase curve
Ben W. P. Lew, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +6
Many brown dwarfs are on ultra-short period and tidally-locked orbits around white dwarf hosts. Because of these small orbital separations, the brown dwarfs are irradiated at level…

Infrared Excesses around Bright White Dwarfs from Gaia and unWISE. II
Samuel Lai, Erik Dennihy, Siyi Xu +7
Infrared excesses around white dwarf stars indicate the presence of various astrophysical objects of interest, including companions and debris disks. In this second paper of a seri…
