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…

Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b II: Phase Resolved Emission Spectroscopy with VLT/CRIRES+ and Gemini-S/IGRINS

Aurora Y. Kesseli, Siddharth Gandhi, Lisa Dang +8

Hot Jupiters are expected to be tidally locked and synchronously rotating due to their short orbital periods. These conditions create large day-night temperature contrasts and are…

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-…
