Metal-poor Brown Dwarf Kinematics from JWST NIRSpec Spectroscopy

Chih-Chun Hsu, Christopher A. Theissen, Adam J. Burgasser +14

Galactic archaeology relies on stellar kinematics and chemical abundances to identify various stellar populations and associations. With JWST, Galactic archaeology of ancient metal…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

Ross 458c: Gas Giant or Brown Dwarf?

William W. Meynardie, Michael R. Meyer, Ryan J. MacDonald +10

Ross 458c is a widely separated planetary mass companion at a distance of 1100 AU from its host binary, Ross 458AB. It is a member of a class of very low-mass companions at distanc…

Silicate Precursor Silane detected in Cold Low-Metallicity Brown Dwarf

Jacqueline K. Faherty, Aaron M. Meisner, Ben Burningham +28

Within 20 pc of the Sun there are currently 29 known cold brown dwarfs, sources with measured distances and an estimated effective temperature between that of Jupiter (170K) and ~5…

Retrieving Young Cloudy L-Dwarfs: A Nearby Planetary-Mass Companion BD+60 1417B and Its Isolated Red Twin W0047

Caprice L. Phillips, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +11

We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis on a set of young, cloudy, red L-dwarfs -- CWISER J124332.12+600126.2 and WISEP J004701.06+680352.1 -- using the \textit{Brewster} retr…

Octofitter: Fast, Flexible, and Accurate Orbit Modelling to Detect Exoplanets

William Thompson, Jensen Lawrence, Dori Blakely +11

As next-generation imaging instruments and interferometers search for planets closer to their stars, they must contend with increasing orbital motion and longer integration times.…
