Galaxy clusters from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys -- III. Star-forming fraction of brightest cluster galaxies
Shufei Liu, Hu Zou, Jinfu Gou +10
This study investigates the evolution of the star-forming fraction () of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) at , using the galaxy clusters identified from th…
Large-amplitude Variability Driven by Giant Dust Storms on a Planetary-mass Companion
Xianyu Tan, Xi Zhang, Mark S. Marley +17
Large-amplitude variations are commonly observed in the atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets and brown dwarfs. VHS 1256B, the most variable known planet-mass object, exhibits…
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…
Horizontal and vertical exoplanet thermal structure from a JWST spectroscopic eclipse map
Ryan C. Challener, Megan Weiner Mansfield, Patricio E. Cubillos +33
Highly-irradiated giant exoplanets known as "ultra-hot Jupiters" are anticipated to exhibit large variations of atmospheric temperature and chemistry as a function of longitude, la…
Sensitivity to Sub-Io-sized Exosatellite Transits in the MIRI LRS Lightcurve of the Nearest Substellar Worlds
Andrew Householder, Mary Anne Limbach, Beth Biller +20
JWST's unprecedented sensitivity enables precise spectrophotometric monitoring of substellar worlds, revealing atmospheric variability driven by mechanisms operating across differe…
Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +28
With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
Characterizing the Time Variability of 2M1207 A+b with JWST NIRSpec/PRISM
Arthur D. Adams, Yifan Zhou, Gabriel Dominique-Marleau +13
We present JWST NIRSpec/PRISM IFU time-resolved observations of 2M1207 A and b (TWA 27), a Myr binary system consisting of a K sub-stellar primary hosting a $…
Cloudy solutions for the clear skies of WASP-80b: 3D cloud feedback on the atmosphere and spectra of a warm Jupiter
Nishil Mehta, Vivien Parmentier, Xianyu Tan +14
Close-in warm Jupiters orbiting M dwarf stars are expected to exhibit diverse atmospheric chemistry, with clouds playing a key role in shaping their albedo, heat distribution, and…
The JWST Weather Report: retrieving temperature variations, auroral heating, and static cloud coverage on SIMP-0136
Evert Nasedkin, Merle Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
SIMP-0136 is a T2.5 brown dwarf whose young age (~Myr) and low mass (~M) make it an ideal analogue for the directly imaged exoplanet population. With…
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…
Phase-resolved Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 Spectroscopy of Weakly-Irradiated Brown Dwarf GD 1400 and Energy Redistribution-Irradiation Trends in Six WDBD Binaries
Rachael C. Amaro, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +8
Irradiated brown dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between stellar and planetary atmospheres. We present high-quality /WFC3/G141 phase-resolved spec…
