JWST spectral retrieval of cold directly imaged planet WD0806 b and the first measurement of altitude-dependent K in exoplanet atmospheres

Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas Roellig, Natasha E. Batalha +10

WD0806 b is a rare exoplanet companion orbiting a white dwarf, currently with a projected orbital distance of 2500 au. The Spitzer mid-IR photometry suggests that the temperature i…

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…

High-precision atmospheric characterization of a Y dwarf with JWST NIRSpec G395H spectroscopy: isotopologue, C/O ratio, metallicity, and the abundances of six molecular species

Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas Roellig, Natasha E. Batalha +19

The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) marks a pivotal moment for precise atmospheric characterization of Y dwarfs, the coldest brown dwarf spectral type. In this stud…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. II. Deep Constraints on Giant Planets and a Planet Candidate Outside of the Spiral Disk Around SAO 206462

Gabriele Cugno, Jarron Leisenring, Kevin R. Wagner +17

We present JWST/NIRCam F187N, F200W, F405N and F410M direct imaging data of the disk surrounding SAO 206462. Previous images show a very structured disk, with a pair of spiral arms…

JWST/NIRCam Imaging of Young Stellar Objects. I. Constraints on Planets Exterior to The Spiral Disk Around MWC 758

Kevin Wagner, Jarron Leisenring, Gabriele Cugno +18

MWC 758 is a young star hosting a spiral protoplanetary disk. The spirals are likely companion-driven, and two previously-identified candidate companions have been identified -- on…

Searching for Planets Orbiting Fomalhaut with JWST/NIRCam

Marie Ygouf, Charles Beichman, Jorge Llop-Sayson +20

We report observations with the JWST/NIRCam coronagraph of the Fomalhaut system. This nearby A star hosts a complex debris disk system discovered by the IRAS satellite. Observation…
