JWST Observations of the Metal-poor T Dwarf WISEA J155349.96+693355.2: The First Brown Dwarf Associated with the Gaia-Enceladus Milky Way Substructure
Aaron M. Meisner, Adam J. Burgasser, Chih-Chun Hsu +15
We present JWST NIRSpec and MIRI observations of the metal-poor T dwarf WISEA J155349.96+693355.2. The combined NIRSpec/prism plus MIRI/LRS spectrum (R ~ 100) provides 0.6-12 m…
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…
Time-resolved JWST Retrieval Analysis of the Coldest Brown Dwarf: Temperature and Chemical Variations in WISE 0855-07
Harshil Kothari, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +12
WISE J0855-07 is the coldest known brown dwarf (estimated Teff~250 K), offering a rare opportunity to probe atmospheric physics in the temperature and mass regime that overlaps dir…
Water Cloud and Chemical Modulations in the Coldest Brown Dwarf
Brittany E. Miles, James Mang, Caroline V. Morley +24
We present high signal-to-noise, medium resolution (R ~ 1000), time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855 (265K), the coldest known brown dwarf. Medium resolution, time-series s…
The Effects of M Star Age Dependent Ultraviolet Emission on Detecting and Interpreting Exoplanet Biosignatures
C. Evan Davis, Victoria S. Meadows, Evgenya L. Shkolnik +5
Given their abundance and observational advantages, M stars will arguably be the best candidates for characterizing and searching for biosignatures on terrestrial exoplanets in the…
SMDET-1: a Nearby Y Dwarf Candidate
Aaron M. Meisner, Dan Caselden, Federico Marocco +11
We present the discovery of SMDET-1, a red, fast-moving object ("/yr) identified in time-resolved unWISE coadds using a pixel-level deep learning methodology called S…
Spectroscopic Characterization of WD J000801.25-350450 and its Two Co-Moving Companions
Peter A. Jałowiczor, Thomas P. Bickle, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +18
We present new spectroscopic data for Gaia DR3 2309499817384726016 (WD0008-350A) and its two wide, co-moving, low-mass companions. We confirm the white dwarf is a hydrogen-rich DA,…
A Comprehensive Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of 22 James Webb Space Telescope Spectral Energy Distributions of Cool Brown Dwarfs
Harshil Kothari, Michael C. Cushing, Samuel A. Beiler +5
We present a uniform atmospheric retrieval analysis of 22 late-T and Y-type brown dwarfs within 20 pc, observed with the James Webb Space Telescope NIRSpec PRISM and MIRI LRS. This…
Spitzer + HST parallaxes of 13 late T and Y dwarfs
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Richard L. Smart +13
We present astrometric measurements for 13 cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood (d < 20pc). By combining archival Spitzer data with our own Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obse…
Parallaxes, Proper Motions, and Near-Infrared Photometry for 173 L and T Dwarfs From The US Naval Observatory Infrared Astrometry Program
Frederick J. Vrba, Adam C. Schneider, Jeffrey A. Munn +11
We present near-infrared parallax and proper motion astrometry for 74 L-dwarfs and 99 T-dwarfs, as single objects or in binary systems, obtained with the ASTROCAM astrometric image…
