New Ultracool Companions to Nearby White Dwarfs
Alexia Bravo, Adam C. Schneider, Sarah Casewell +15
We conducted a search for new ultracool companions to nearby white dwarfs using multiple methods, including the analysis of colors and examination of images in both the optical and…
New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…
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…
A Tale of Two Molecules: The Underprediction of CO and Overprediction of PH in Late T and Y Dwarf Atmospheric Models
Samuel A. Beiler, Sagnick Mukherjee, Michael C. Cushing +5
The sensitivity and spectral coverage of JWST is enabling us to test our assumptions of ultracool dwarf atmospheric chemistry, especially with regards to the abundances of phosphin…
Precise Bolometric Luminosities and Effective Temperatures of 23 late-T and Y dwarfs Obtained with JWST
Samuel A. Beiler, Michael C. Cushing, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +5
We present infrared spectral energy distributions of 23 late-type T and Y dwarfs obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope. The spectral energy distributions consist of NIRSpec…
Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit
Adam J. Burgasser, Roman Gerasimov, Kyle Kremer +18
We report the discovery of a high velocity, very low-mass star or brown dwarf whose kinematics suggest it is unbound to the Milky Way. CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 was identified by c…
Simulating Brown Dwarf Observations for Various Mass Functions, Birthrates, and Low-mass Cutoffs
Yadukrishna Raghu, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco +12
After decades of brown dwarf discovery and follow-up, we can now infer the functional form of the mass distribution within 20 parsecs, which serves as a constraint on star formatio…
Probing the Heights and Depths of Y Dwarf Atmospheres: A Retrieval Analysis of the JWST Spectral Energy Distribution of WISE J035934.06540154.6
Harshil Kothari, Michael C. Cushing, Ben Burningham +5
We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis of the Y0 brown dwarf WISE J035934.06540154.6 using the low-resolution 0.96--12 m JWST spectrum presented in \citet{Beiler_2023}.…
Discovery of the Remarkably Red L/T Transition Object VHS J183135.58-551355.9
Thomas P. Bickle, Adam C. Schneider, Jonathan Gagné +15
We present the discovery of VHS J183135.58551355.9 (hereafter VHS J18315513), an L/T transition dwarf identified as a result of its unusually red near-infrared colors ($J-K_{…
Methane Emission From a Cool Brown Dwarf
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham, Jonathan Gagné +21
Beyond our solar system, aurorae have been inferred from radio observations of isolated brown dwarfs (e.g. Hallinan et al. 2006; Kao et al. 2023). Within our solar system, giant pl…
