Phase-resolved Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 Spectroscopy of Weakly-Irradiated Brown Dwarf GD 1400 and Energy Redistribution-Irradiation Trends in Six WDBD Binaries
Rachael C. Amaro, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +8
Irradiated brown dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between stellar and planetary atmospheres. We present high-quality /WFC3/G141 phase-resolved spec…

The only inflated brown dwarf in an eclipsing white dwarf-brown dwarf binary: WD1032+011B
Jenni R. French, Sarah L. Casewell, Rachael C. Amaro +9
Due to their short orbital periods and relatively high flux ratios, irradiated brown dwarfs in binaries with white dwarfs offer better opportunities to study irradiated atmospheres…

Time-resolved Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Spectrophotometry Reveals Inefficient Day-to-Night Heat Redistribution in the Highly Irradiated Brown Dwarf SDSS 1557B
Rachael C. Amaro, Daniel Apai, Ben W. P. Lew +8
Brown dwarfs in ultra-short period orbits around white dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to study the properties of tidally-locked, fast rotating (1-3 hr), and highly-irradiated at…
