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…
Building a Roadmap for Hubble Science into the 2030s: Revealing Atmospheric Structure and Evolution in Substellar Worlds Using HST
Allison M. McCarthy, Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
Substellar objects occupy a unique place in our universe, bridging the gap between the smallest stars and the largest planets, and serving as powerful laboratories for understandin…
The JWST Weather Report: retrieving temperature variations, auroral heating, and static cloud coverage on SIMP-0136
Evert Nasedkin, Merle Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
SIMP-0136 is a T2.5 brown dwarf whose young age (~Myr) and low mass (~M) make it an ideal analogue for the directly imaged exoplanet population. With…
