The JWST Sub-Jupiters Survey: Direct Imaging Discovery of a Giant Planet and a Debris Disk Around the Young M-dwarf RX J0534.0-0221

Rodrigo Ferrer-Chavez, Jason J. Wang, Kevin Wagner +47

We present the discovery of RX J0534.0-0221 b, a giant planet orbiting an M-dwarf star in the Pictoris moving group. RX J0534 was originally observed with JWST/NIRCam in the F4…

Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek

Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94

We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…

The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs III: Heterogeneous clouds and Thermochemical instabilities as possible drivers of WISE 1049AB's spectroscopic variability

Natalia Oliveros-Gomez, Elena Manjavacas, Theodora Karalidi +17

We present a new analysis of the spectroscopic variability of WISE~J104915.57531906.1AB (WISE~1049AB, L7.5+T0.5), observed using the NIRSpec instrument onboard the James Webb Sp…

The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs II: Consistent variability mechanisms over 7 months revealed by 1-14 m NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of WISE 1049AB

Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Xianyu Tan +22

We present a new epoch of JWST spectroscopic variability monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB, the closest, brightest brown dwarfs known. Our 8-hour MIRI low…

Global weather map reveals persistent top-of-atmosphere features on the nearest brown dwarfs

Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos +10

Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass companions display rotationally modulated photometric variability, especially those near the L/T transition. This variability is commonly attributed…

The JWST Weather Report from the Nearest Brown Dwarfs I: multi-period JWST NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB

Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos, Yifan Zhou +22

We report results from 8 hours of JWST/MIRI LRS spectroscopic monitoring directly followed by 7 hours of JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopic monitoring of the benchmark binary brown d…

Identifying and Fitting Eclipse Maps of Exoplanets with Cross-Validation

Mark Hammond, Neil T. Lewis, Sasha Boone +10

Eclipse mapping uses the shape of the eclipse of an exoplanet to measure its two-dimensional structure. Light curves are mostly composed of longitudinal information, with the latit…

Prioritizing High-Precision Photometric Monitoring of Exoplanet and Brown Dwarf Companions with JWST -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper

Ben J. Sutlieff, Xueqing Chen, Pengyu Liu +15

We advocate for the prioritization of high-precision photometric monitoring of exoplanet and brown dwarf companions to detect brightness variability arising from features in their…

Observability of Forming Planets and their Circumplanetary Disks IV. -- with JWST & ELT

Xueqing Chen, Judit Szulágyi

To understand the potential for observing forming planets and their circumplanetary disks (CPDs) with JWST and ELT, we created mock observations from 3D radiative hydrodynamic simu…
