Benchmark Brown Dwarfs as Chemical Laboratories: Linking System Bulk Properties to Atmospheric Retrievals

Viktória Kecskeméthy, Ben Burningham, Fei Wang +8

We present the first atmospheric retrieval analysis of two compositional benchmark mid-L dwarfs -- SDSSJ141659.78+500626.4 and GJ 499 C -- using the \textit{Brewster} retrieval fra…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

The JWST weather report: Unravelling the atmospheric variability of isolated worlds using principal component analysis

Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos, Evert Nasedkin +17

Brown dwarf variability directly probes atmospheric dynamics beyond the Solar System, and recent JWST time-resolved spectroscopy has opened a new window into these processes. Princ…

On the Detectability of Volcanic Exo-Ios That May Fuel Auroras on Super-Jupiters

Brooke Kotten, Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos +12

Studies suggest Jupiter's aurorae are supplied with plasma from volcanic outflows on the planet's innermost moon, Io. Repeating bursts of radio emission thought to trace massively…

Panchromatic View of the Frigid Jovian Exoplanet COCONUTS-2 b

Matthieu Ravet, Mickaël Bonnefoy, Gaël Chauvin +24

We use a high signal-to-noise MIRI-LRS spectrum (5.45 - 11 m, R ) of COCONUTS-2~b revealing prominent molecular features of HO, CH and NH. This dataset…

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…
