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…
A second planetesimal collision in the Fomalhaut system
Paul Kalas, Jason J. Wang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +7
The nearby star Fomalhaut is orbited by a compact source, Fomalhaut b, which has previously been interpreted as either a dust-enshrouded exoplanet or a dust cloud generated by the…
Simulations of Flare Chemistry in Brown Dwarf Companions to Active M Dwarfs
Aidan Gibbs, Michael P. Fitzgerald
Brown dwarfs that are short period (day) companions to actively flaring M dwarfs may provide a context to directly observe flare-driven photochemistry and structural changes…
SCExAO/CHARIS Spectroscopic Characterization of Cloudy L/T Transition Companion Brown Dwarf HIP 93398 B
Briley Lewis, Yiting Li, Aidan Gibbs +10
Brown dwarfs with measured dynamical masses and spectra from direct imaging are benchmarks that anchor substellar atmosphere cooling and evolution models. We present Subaru SCExAO/…
