Measuring the alpha-abundance of subsolar-metallicity stars in the Milky Way's central half-parsec: testing globular cluster and dwarf galaxy infall scenarios
Rory O. Bentley, Tuan Do, Wolfgang Kerzendorf +4
While the Milky Way Nuclear star cluster has been studied extensively, how it formed is uncertain. Studies have shown it contains a solar and supersolar metallicity population that…
Deep exploration of the planets HR 8799 b, c, and d with moderate resolution spectroscopy
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn M. Konopacky, Travis Barman +6
The four directly imaged planets orbiting the star HR 8799 are an ideal laboratory to probe atmospheric physics and formation models. We present more than a decade's worth of Keck/…
Detection and Bulk Properties of the HR 8799 Planets with High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jason J. Wang, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Evan Morris +49
Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), we obtained high-resolution (R35,000) -band spectra of the four planets orbiting HR 8799. We clearly detected \water…
Cloud Properties of Brown Dwarf Binaries Across the L/T Transition
Laci Shea Brock, Travis Barman, Quinn M. Konopacky +1
We present a new suite of atmosphere models with flexible cloud parameters to investigate the effects of clouds on brown dwarfs across the L/T transition. We fit these models to a…
The 3-D Kinematics of the Orion Nebula Cluster: NIRSPEC-AO Radial Velocities of the Core Population
Christopher A. Theissen, Quinn M. Konopacky, Jessica R. Lu +5
The kinematics and dynamics of stellar and substellar populations within young, still-forming clusters provides valuable information for constraining theories of formation mechanis…
