Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
Large-amplitude Variability Driven by Giant Dust Storms on a Planetary-mass Companion
Xianyu Tan, Xi Zhang, Mark S. Marley +17
Large-amplitude variations are commonly observed in the atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets and brown dwarfs. VHS 1256B, the most variable known planet-mass object, exhibits…
The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs III: Heterogeneous clouds and Thermochemical instabilities as possible drivers of WISE 1049AB's spectroscopic variability
Natalia Oliveros-Gomez, Elena Manjavacas, Theodora Karalidi +17
We present a new analysis of the spectroscopic variability of WISE~J104915.57531906.1AB (WISE~1049AB, L7.5+T0.5), observed using the NIRSpec instrument onboard the James Webb Sp…
Chasing the storm: Investigating the application of high-contrast imaging techniques in producing precise exoplanet light curves
Ben J. Sutlieff, David S. Doelman, Jayne L. Birkby +10
Substellar companions such as exoplanets and brown dwarfs exhibit changes in brightness arising from top-of-atmosphere inhomogeneities, providing insights into their atmospheric st…
Sensitivity to Sub-Io-sized Exosatellite Transits in the MIRI LRS Lightcurve of the Nearest Substellar Worlds
Andrew Householder, Mary Anne Limbach, Beth Biller +20
JWST's unprecedented sensitivity enables precise spectrophotometric monitoring of substellar worlds, revealing atmospheric variability driven by mechanisms operating across differe…
Discovery of a Debris Disk Around TWA 20
Skyler Palatnick, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, Jingwen Zhang +20
We report the discovery of a debris disk surrounding the M3 star, TWA 20, revealed by JWST coronagraphic observations using the Near-infrared Camera (NIRCam). With reference-star d…
Follow-Up Exploration of the TWA 7 Planet-Disk System with JWST NIRCam
Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Kellen Lawson +39
The young M-star TWA 7 hosts a bright and near face-on debris disk, which has been imaged from the optical to the submillimeter. The disk displays multiple complex substructures su…
The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs II: Consistent variability mechanisms over 7 months revealed by 1-14 m NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of WISE 1049AB
Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Xianyu Tan +22
We present a new epoch of JWST spectroscopic variability monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB, the closest, brightest brown dwarfs known. Our 8-hour MIRI low…
