A SPHEREx Pipeline and Spectral Library for Ultracool Dwarfs

Jonathan Gagné, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Azul Ruiz Diaz +72

We present a Python spectrophotometry extraction tool tailored for fast-moving point sources detected in the SPHEREx mission, and use it to construct a set of 0.75-5.0 m low-res…

Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project

Adam C. Schneider, Marc J. Kuchner, Jacqueline K. Faherty +73

The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we pr…

High Proper Motion Discoveries from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

Wings Zhang, Adam C. Schneider, Thomas P. Bickle +31

We used the third data release of the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey to locate previously unrecognized high proper motion objects. We identify a total of 127 new discoveries with total pr…

Discovery of 118 New Ultracool Dwarf Candidates Using Machine Learning Techniques

Hunter Brooks, Dan Caselden, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +44

We present the discovery of 118 new ultracool dwarf candidates, discovered using a new machine learning tool, named \texttt{SMDET}, applied to time series images from the Wide-fiel…

The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85

A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…

The Field Substellar Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 525 L, T, and Y Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Christopher R. Gelino, Jacqueline K. Faherty +49

We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of th…

Planet Hunters TESS I: TOI 813, a subgiant hosting a transiting Saturn-sized planet on an 84-day orbit

N. L. Eisner, O. Barragán, S. Aigrain +47

We report on the discovery and validation of TOI 813b (TIC 55525572 b), a transiting exoplanet identified by citizen scientists in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Sate…
