Bridging the gap between stars and planets
Aina Palau, Dimitris Stamatellos, Matthew Bate +58
The formation mechanisms of brown dwarfs (BDs) and free-floating planets (FFPs) are poorly constrained. The two main competing scenarios include the star-like scenario, where these…
An HST survey of photometry and multiplicity of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects in the field of Taurus
Pengyu Liu, Beth A. Biller, Clémence Fontanive +11
We present a photometric and multiplicity survey of 26 young objects with masses between 6 Mj and 37 Mj and spectral type later than M8 in the Taurus star-forming region with the H…
A Candidate Innermost Fifth Planet In the HR 8799 System Revealed By JWST NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry
Jayke S. Nguyen, Louis Desdoigts, Alexandra Z. Greenbaum +20
We detect a candidate fifth planet in the HR 8799 system, directly imaged with the JWST/NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI). The detected source lies just above a con…
Direct Imaging Constraints on Binary Planets and Exomoons around Epsilon Indi A b
Matson Garza, Mary Anne Limbach, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +6
Epsilon Indi A b is a directly imaged exoplanet orbiting a nearby (3.6 pc) K-dwarf at AU. We analyze archival JWST/MIRI 15 m coronagraphic imaging…
The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
Loïc Albert, Sabrina R. Poulsen, Érika Le Bourdais +17
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging…
Probing the Outskirts of M Dwarf Planetary Systems with a Cycle 1 JWST NIRCam Coronagraphy Survey
Ellis Bogat, Joshua E. Schlieder, Kellen D. Lawson +18
The population of giant planets on wide orbits around low-mass M dwarf stars is poorly understood, but the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST NIRCam coronagraphic imaging now provid…
Identification of a turnover in the initial mass function of a young stellar cluster down to 0.5 M
Matthew De Furio, Michael R. Meyer, Thomas Greene +11
A successful theory of star formation should predict the number of objects as a function of their mass produced through star-forming events. Previous studies in star-forming region…
JWST/NIRCam Detection of the Fomalhaut C Debris Disk in Scattered Light
Kellen Lawson, Joshua E. Schlieder, Jarron M. Leisenring +20
Observations of debris disks offer important insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Though M dwarfs make up approximately 80% of nearby stars, very few M-d…
The James Webb Interferometer: Space-based interferometric detections of PDS 70 b and c at 4.8 m
Dori Blakely, Doug Johnstone, Gabriele Cugno +22
We observed the planet-hosting system PDS 70 with the James Webb Interferometer, JWST's Aperture Masking Interferometric (AMI) mode within NIRISS. Observing with the F480M filter c…
An HST survey of 33 T8 to Y1 brown dwarfs: NIR photometry and multiplicity of the coldest isolated objects
Clemence Fontanive, Luigi R. Bedin, Matthew De Furio +5
We present results from a Hubble Space Telescope imaging search for low-mass binary and planetary companions to 33 nearby brown dwarfs with spectral types of T8-Y1. Our survey prov…
MagAO-X and HST high-contrast imaging of the AS209 disk at H
Gabriele Cugno, Yifan Zhou, Thanawuth Thanathibodee +22
The detection of emission lines associated with accretion processes is a direct method for studying how and where gas giant planets form, how young planets interact with their nata…
JWST/NIRCam Coronagraphy of the Young Planet-hosting Debris Disk AU Microscopii
Kellen Lawson, Joshua E. Schlieder, Jarron M. Leisenring +20
High-contrast imaging of debris disk systems permits us to assess the composition and size distribution of circumstellar dust, to probe recent dynamical histories, and to directly…
JWST/NIRCam discovery of the first Y+Y brown dwarf binary: WISE J033605.05014350.4
Per Calissendorff, Matthew De Furio, Michael Meyer +25
We report the discovery of the first brown dwarf binary system with a Y dwarf primary, WISE J033605.05014350.4, observed with NIRCam on JWST with the F150W and F480M filters. We…
