Asymmetric nightside CO2 features, inefficient heat transport, and precise evolutionary constraints: Spectroscopic phase curves reveal the past and present of a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary
Daphne Broski-Laing, Yifan Zhou, Joshua D. Lothringer +10
We present the first JWST phase curve of a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary, a NIRSpec PRISM observation of ZTFJ0038+2030. Short-period white dwarf-brown dwarf binaries provide uniqu…
J0404+1112: A 3-Hour Eclipsing White Dwarf-Brown Dwarf Probing Multiple Atmospheric Regimes
J. de Wit, R. Alonso, B. V. Rackham +19
White dwarf-brown dwarf (WD+BD) binaries are rare laboratories for probing both substellar survival through post-main-sequence evolution and the physics of strongly irradiated atmo…
Assessing Ariel's capabilities to observe free-floating brown dwarfs
Roman Akhmetshyn, Nicolas B Cowan, Sarah Casewell
The primary goal of the Ariel space telescope is to conduct the biggest spectroscopic survey of transiting exoplanets to characterize their atmospheres and weather. We propose to e…
From Hubble to HWO: Bridging the Frontier of White Dwarf Exoplanet Science
Laura K. Rogers, Siyi Xu, Martin Barstow +20
White dwarf stars, the endpoint of stellar evolution for 97% of stars in our Milky Way, offer a unique and powerful window into the bulk elemental composition of rocky exoplanetary…
Direct imaging characterization of cool gaseous planets
Michiel Min, Jo Barstow, Laura C. Mayorga +19
Cool gas giant exoplanets, particularly those with properties similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn, remain poorly characterized due to current observational limitations. This whi…
