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 JWST weather report: Unravelling the atmospheric variability of isolated worlds using principal component analysis
Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos, Evert Nasedkin +17
Brown dwarf variability directly probes atmospheric dynamics beyond the Solar System, and recent JWST time-resolved spectroscopy has opened a new window into these processes. Princ…
On the Detectability of Volcanic Exo-Ios That May Fuel Auroras on Super-Jupiters
Brooke Kotten, Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos +12
Studies suggest Jupiter's aurorae are supplied with plasma from volcanic outflows on the planet's innermost moon, Io. Repeating bursts of radio emission thought to trace massively…
Building a Roadmap for Hubble Science into the 2030s: Revealing Atmospheric Structure and Evolution in Substellar Worlds Using HST
Allison M. McCarthy, Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
Substellar objects occupy a unique place in our universe, bridging the gap between the smallest stars and the largest planets, and serving as powerful laboratories for understandin…
Disentangling auroral, cloud and magnetic spot driven variability in three early L-dwarfs with HST/WFC3
C. O'Toole, J. M. Vos, E. N. Nasedkin +5
Variability monitoring provides an unparalleled insight into the atmospheric processes of brown dwarfs and directly imaged exo-planets. Inhomogeneous clouds, aurorae and magnetic s…
The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs III: Heterogeneous clouds and Thermochemical instabilities as possible drivers of WISE 1049AB's spectroscopic variability
Natalia Oliveros-Gomez, Elena Manjavacas, Theodora Karalidi +17
We present a new analysis of the spectroscopic variability of WISE~J104915.57531906.1AB (WISE~1049AB, L7.5+T0.5), observed using the NIRSpec instrument onboard the James Webb Sp…
Sensitivity to Sub-Io-sized Exosatellite Transits in the MIRI LRS Lightcurve of the Nearest Substellar Worlds
Andrew Householder, Mary Anne Limbach, Beth Biller +20
JWST's unprecedented sensitivity enables precise spectrophotometric monitoring of substellar worlds, revealing atmospheric variability driven by mechanisms operating across differe…
Mapping the Cloud-Driven Atmospheric Dynamics & Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures
Michael K. Plummer, Francis P. Cocchini, Peter A. Kearns +12
Young planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs near the L/T spectral transition exhibit enhanced spectrophotometric variability over field brown dwarfs. Patchy clouds, auroral proce…
The JWST Weather Report: retrieving temperature variations, auroral heating, and static cloud coverage on SIMP-0136
Evert Nasedkin, Merle Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
SIMP-0136 is a T2.5 brown dwarf whose young age (~Myr) and low mass (~M) make it an ideal analogue for the directly imaged exoplanet population. With…
The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs II: Consistent variability mechanisms over 7 months revealed by 1-14 m NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of WISE 1049AB
Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Xianyu Tan +22
We present a new epoch of JWST spectroscopic variability monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB, the closest, brightest brown dwarfs known. Our 8-hour MIRI low…
The JWST Weather Report from the Isolated Exoplanet Analog SIMP 0136+0933: Pressure-Dependent Variability Driven by Multiple Mechanisms
Allison M. McCarthy, Johanna M. Vos, Philip S. Muirhead +17
Isolated planetary-mass objects share their mass range with planets but do not orbit a star. They lack the necessary mass to support fusion in their cores and thermally radiate the…
The JWST Weather Report from the Nearest Brown Dwarfs I: multi-period JWST NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB
Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos, Yifan Zhou +22
We report results from 8 hours of JWST/MIRI LRS spectroscopic monitoring directly followed by 7 hours of JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopic monitoring of the benchmark binary brown d…
Multiple Patchy Cloud Layers in the Planetary Mass Object SIMP0136+0933
