Spitzer + HST parallaxes of 13 late T and Y dwarfs

Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Richard L. Smart +13

We present astrometric measurements for 13 cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood (d < 20pc). By combining archival Spitzer data with our own Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obse…

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…

Diversity of Cold Worlds: A Near Complete Spectral Energy Distribution for 2MASS J04151954-0935066 using JWST

Sherelyn Alejandro Merchan, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Genaro Suárez +25

We present the a near complete spectral energy distribution (SED) for an extrasolar world: the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS~J041519540935066. Spanning from optical to mid-infrared (0.7-…

The Diversity of Cold Worlds: a blended-light binary straddling the T/Y transition in brown dwarfs

Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Genaro Suarez +22

We present the first brown dwarf spectral binary characterized with JWST: WISE J014656.66+423410.0, the coldest blended-light brown dwarf binary straddling the T/Y transition. We o…

Methane Emission From a Cool Brown Dwarf

Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham, Jonathan Gagné +21

Beyond our solar system, aurorae have been inferred from radio observations of isolated brown dwarfs (e.g. Hallinan et al. 2006; Kao et al. 2023). Within our solar system, giant pl…
