The ESO SupJup Survey XI. Atmospheric properties of six isolated M- and L-type dwarfs with CRIRES+
C. R. Malcolm, N. Grasser, I. A. G. Snellen +9
The distinct formation pathways of brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets may be encoded in their atmospheric composition. We present atmospheric retrievals for six isolated brown dwarf…
Chemistry and Isotope Ratios of Substellar Atmospheres in the Pictoris Young Moving Group and Vicinity
Yurou Liu, Yapeng Zhang, Jerry W. Xuan +7
Measuring the chemical and isotopic compositions of gas giants and brown dwarfs provides insights into their formation pathways and birth environments. 2MASS J0249-0557 c is an L2-…
The carbon isotope ratio of β Pic b with high-resolution spectroscopy
D. González Picos, I. A. G. Snellen, R. Landman +6
Isotopic ratios trace the formation and evolution of planets and link their atmospheres to the chemistry of their natal protoplanetary discs. We measure $^{12}\mathrm{C}/^{13}\math…
Upper limits on exosatellites around Pictoris b
M. A. Kenworthy, R. Landman, A. Vanderburg +8
Pictoris b is one of the closest known directly-imaged gas giant exoplanets with an orbit that is almost edge-on to our line of sight, making it an ideal target for radial vel…
The ESO SupJup Survey. X. A carbon isotope contrast in the young ROXs 12 system
N. Grasser, I. A. G. Snellen, S. de Regt +7
Emerging research suggests that elemental and isotopic ratios of exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres may serve as potential tracers of their formation pathways. The ESO SupJup Su…
The ESO SupJup Survey IX: Isotopic evidence of a recent formation for Luhman 16AB
S. de Regt, I. A. G. Snellen, D. González Picos +8
The distinct formation pathways of directly-imaged exoplanets and isolated brown dwarfs might leave imprints in the inherited elemental and isotopic abundances, but such measuremen…
