Water Cloud and Chemical Modulations in the Coldest Brown Dwarf

Brittany E. Miles, James Mang, Caroline V. Morley +24

We present high signal-to-noise, medium resolution (R ~ 1000), time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855 (265K), the coldest known brown dwarf. Medium resolution, time-series s…

The HST/WFC3 Transmission Spectrum of AU Mic b Part I: An Atmosphere Obscured by Contamination and Systematics

William C. Waalkes, Peter Gao, Elisabeth Newton +10

Young sub-Neptune progenitors around M dwarfs offer an excellent opportunity to probe the formation of their abundant, older cousins. At 20 Myr and only 9.7 pc away, AU Mic b…

A Deep Search for Exomoons Around WISE 0855 With JWST

Mikayla J. Wilson, Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew J. Skemer +11

JWST is collecting time-series observations of many free-floating planets (FFPs) to study their weather, but these light curves are the ideal datasets to search for exomoons that t…

The radiative effects of photochemical hazes on the atmospheric circulation and phase curves of sub-Neptunes

Maria E. Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Laura Kreidberg +13

Measuring the atmospheric composition of hazy sub-Neptunes like GJ~1214b through transmission spectroscopy is difficult because of the degeneracy between mean molecular weight and…

Protosolar D-to-H abundance and one part-per-billion PH in the coldest brown dwarf

Melanie J. Rowland, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +24

The coldest Y spectral type brown dwarfs are similar in mass and temperature to cool and warm (200 -- 400 K) giant exoplanets. We can therefore use their atmospheres as proxi…

The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. III. Diamondback: Atmospheric Properties, Spectra, and Evolution for Warm Cloudy Substellar Objects

Caroline V. Morley, Sagnick Mukherjee, Mark S. Marley +7

We present a new grid of cloudy atmosphere and evolution models for substellar objects. These models include the effect of refractory cloud species, including silicate clouds, on t…

The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. IV. Elf Owl: Atmospheric Mixing and Chemical Disequilibrium with Varying Metallicity and C/O Ratios

Sagnick Mukherjee, Jonathan J. Fortney, Caroline V. Morley +7

Disequilibrium chemistry due to vertical mixing in the atmospheres of many brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets is well-established. Atmosphere models for these objects typically para…

Modeling the day-night temperature variations of ultra-hot Jupiters: confronting non-grey general circulation models and observations

Xianyu Tan, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Natasha E. Batalha +4

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are natural laboratories to study extreme physics in planetary atmospheres and their rich observational data sets are yet to be confronted with models wit…
