Sinking Silicates I: Characterizing the benchmark system containing the T0 brown dwarf CWISE J210640.16+250729.0 using JWST

Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +16

In this study, we present the full (97.3\% complete) 0.8--12.5 m spectral energy distribution (SED) of an L/T transition object, CWISE J210640.16+250729.0 (CW2106), using the Ja…

Benchmark Brown Dwarfs as Chemical Laboratories: Linking System Bulk Properties to Atmospheric Retrievals

Viktória Kecskeméthy, Ben Burningham, Fei Wang +8

We present the first atmospheric retrieval analysis of two compositional benchmark mid-L dwarfs -- SDSSJ141659.78+500626.4 and GJ 499 C -- using the \textit{Brewster} retrieval fra…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

The JWST weather report: Unravelling the atmospheric variability of isolated worlds using principal component analysis

Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos, Evert Nasedkin +17

Brown dwarf variability directly probes atmospheric dynamics beyond the Solar System, and recent JWST time-resolved spectroscopy has opened a new window into these processes. Princ…

Photometric Variability and Rotation of Beta Pictoris b from JWST NIRCam Coronagraphic Imaging

Yifan Zhou, Beth A. Biller, Aarynn L. Carter +28

We report the detection of photometric variability in the directly imaged super-Jupiter Pictoris b. Using JWST NIRCam dual-band coronagraphic imaging, we conducted a 16-hour co…

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…

Building a Roadmap for Hubble Science into the 2030s: Revealing Atmospheric Structure and Evolution in Substellar Worlds Using HST

Allison M. McCarthy, Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15

Substellar objects occupy a unique place in our universe, bridging the gap between the smallest stars and the largest planets, and serving as powerful laboratories for understandin…

Inspecting Cloudy Substellar Atmospheres with JWST MIRI Synthetic Magnitudes from Spitzer Mid-infrared Spectra

Jolie LHeureux, Genaro Suárez, Johanna M. Vos +4

We examine the positions of substellar objects in mid-infrared color-magnitude and color-color diagrams to distinguish between cloudy and cloud-free atmospheres. Using Spitzer mid-…
