The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems II: A 1 to 20 Micron Spectrum of the Planetary-Mass Companion VHS 1256-1257 b
Brittany E. Miles, Beth A. Biller, Polychronis Patapis +101
We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is a 20 M widely separated (8\arcsec, a = 150 au), young, planetary-…

Sites of Planet Formation in Binary Systems. I. Evidence for Disk-Orbit Alignment in the Close Binary FO Tau
Benjamin M. Tofflemire, Lisa Prato, Adam L. Kraus +8
Close binary systems present challenges to planet formation. As binary separations decrease, so too do the occurrence rates of protoplanetary disks in young systems and planets in…
