The JWST Sub-Jupiters Survey: Direct Imaging Discovery of a Giant Planet and a Debris Disk Around the Young M-dwarf RX J0534.0-0221

Rodrigo Ferrer-Chavez, Jason J. Wang, Kevin Wagner +47

We present the discovery of RX J0534.0-0221 b, a giant planet orbiting an M-dwarf star in the Pictoris moving group. RX J0534 was originally observed with JWST/NIRCam in the F4…

JWST NIRCam Reveals the Largest Known M-dwarf Debris Disk Around TWA 10 and New Scattered-Light Observations of the TWA 25 Debris Disk

Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Beth Biller +26

We present JWST NIRCam observations of two M-dwarf systems located in the TW Hydra association, TWA 10 and TWA 25. Both systems harbor detected debris disks in the F200W and F444W…

A Search for Wide-orbit Planets Around M-dwarfs using Deep MIRI 15-micron Images

Yihan Li, Yifan Zhou, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +7

Wide-orbit (10 AU) gas giant planets shape the architecture of planetary systems, yet their occurrence rate remains poorly constrained. JWST has obtained the deepest mid-infrare…

Direct Imaging Constraints on Binary Planets and Exomoons around Epsilon Indi A b

Matson Garza, Mary Anne Limbach, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +6

Epsilon Indi A b is a directly imaged exoplanet orbiting a nearby (3.6 pc) K-dwarf at AU. We analyze archival JWST/MIRI 15 m coronagraphic imaging…

On the Detection of Exorings in Reflected Light with JWST NIRCam

Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Mary Anne Limbach, Sam Hopper +4

When directly imaging a cold giant exoplanet hosting a ring system, the reflected light from the rings can outshine the planet's thermal emission and reflected-light in the near-in…

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…

NIRCam yells at cloud: JWST MIRI imaging can directly detect exoplanets of the same temperature, mass, age, and orbital separation as Saturn and Jupiter

Rachel Bowens-Rubin, James Mang, Mary Anne Limbach +9

NIRCam and MIRI coronagraphy have successfully demonstrated the ability to directly image young sub-Jupiter mass and mature gas-giant exoplanets. However, these modes struggle to r…

Thermal Emission and Confirmation of the Frigid White Dwarf Exoplanet WD 1856+534b

Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Ryan J. MacDonald +12

We report the detection of thermal emission from and confirm the planetary nature of WD 1856+534b, the first transiting planet known to orbit a white dwarf star. Observations with…

The MIRI Exoplanets Orbiting White Dwarfs (MEOW) Survey: Mid-Infrared Excess Reveals a Giant Planet Candidate around a Nearby White Dwarf

Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Alexander Venner +17

The MIRI Exoplanets Orbiting White dwarfs (MEOW) Survey is a cycle 2 JWST program to search for exoplanets around dozens of nearby white dwarfs via infrared excess and direct imagi…

The Keck-HGCA Pilot Survey II: Direct Imaging Discovery of HD 63754 B, a ~20 au Massive Companion Near the Hydrogen Burning Limit

Yiting Li, Timothy D. Brandt, Kyle Franson +15

We present the joint astrometric and direct imaging discovery, mass measurement, and orbital analysis of HD 63754 B (HIP 38216 B), a companion near the stellar-substellar boundary…

Subaru/CHARIS High-Resolution Mode Spectroscopy of the Brown Dwarf Companion HD 33632 Ab

Aidan Gibbs, Briley Lewis, Michael Fitzgerald +6

Brown dwarfs (BD) are model degenerate in age and mass. High-contrast imaging and spectroscopy of BD companions to host stars where the mass and age can be independently constraine…

A Wolf 359 in sheep's clothing: Hunting for substellar companions in the fifth-closest system using combined high-contrast imaging and radial velocity analysis

Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Philip M. Hinz +16

Wolf 359 (CN Leo, GJ 406, Gaia DR3 3864972938605115520) is a low-mass star in the fifth-closest neighboring system (2.41 pc). Because of its relative youth and proximity, Wolf 359…
