The Y Dwarf Companion to the White Dwarf WD 0806-66: Resolving the Discrepancy Between Atmospheric and Evolutionary Models

S. K. Leggett, Pascal Tremblin

James Webb Space Telescope near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy has been published by Voyer et al. (2025) and Lew et al. (2026) for the Y dwarf which is a distant companion to the w…

Silicate Precursor Silane detected in Cold Low-Metallicity Brown Dwarf

Jacqueline K. Faherty, Aaron M. Meisner, Ben Burningham +28

Within 20 pc of the Sun there are currently 29 known cold brown dwarfs, sources with measured distances and an estimated effective temperature between that of Jupiter (170K) and ~5…

Exploration of the Near-Infrared Colors of Cold Y Dwarfs from the Ground and Space

S. K. Leggett, Mark W. Phillips, Pascal Tremblin

JWST has provided critical mid-infrared data for cold brown dwarfs. It has also provided low-resolution near-infrared spectra, and for faint sources these are the first spectra at…

Redshifting the Study of Cold Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets: the Mid-Infrared Wavelength Region as an Indicator of Surface Gravity and Mass

S. K. Leggett, Pascal Tremblin

JWST is opening many avenues for exploration. For cold brown dwarfs and exoplanets, JWST has opened the door to the mid-infrared wavelength region, where such objects emit signific…

Y Dwarfs: The Challenge of Discovering the Coldest Substellar Population in the Solar Neighborhood

Sandy K. Leggett

Stars form in the Galaxy with a wide range in mass. If the mass is below 7% of the Sun's, then the object does not become hot enough for stable hydrogen burning. These substellar o…
