JWST detection of methane emission from a young brown dwarf
K. L. Luhman, C. Alves de Oliveira, J. K. Faherty +1
In recent studies, we have used low-resolution spectroscopy (R~100) with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover low-mass brown dwarfs (2-10 MJup) in the young cluster IC…
JWST's Constraints on the Substellar IMF in NGC 2024
K. L. Luhman
A recent study has reported the detection of a turnover in the initial mass function (IMF) below 12 Mjup and the possible detection of a minimum mass near 3 Mjup in the heavily emb…
JWST Spectra of Brown Dwarf Candidates in the Orion Nebula Cluster
K. L. Luhman
I present an analysis of archival spectra of 200 sources toward the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) that were obtained with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James W…
A New Spectral Class of Brown Dwarfs at the Bottom of the IMF in IC 348
K. L. Luhman, C. Alves de Oliveira
In a previous study, we used JWST to identify three new brown dwarfs in the center of a nearby star-forming cluster, IC 348. The faintest object had an estimated mass of 3-4 $M_{\r…
The Initial Mass Function of Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the Upper Sco Association
K. L. Luhman
I present infrared spectroscopy of 37 brown dwarf candidates in the Upper Sco association, 35 of which are classified as young and cool, making them likely members. This sample inc…
The Membership and Age of the Planet-hosting Young Star IRAS 04125+2902
K. L. Luhman
A transiting planet was recently discovered around a star in the Taurus star-forming region, IRAS 04125+2902, making it one of the youngest known planets. The discovery paper cited…
