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…
Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets
Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +32
The paper describes two upgrades to the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer’s NOMIC camera—a quadruple annular groove phase mask coronagraph and a new Teledyne GeoSnap detecto…
IRAM 04191+1522: a compact proto-brown dwarf binary candidate
N. Huélamo, I. de Gregorio-Monsalvo, Aina Palau +12
Very low-luminosity objects in nearby star-forming regions have been identified as promising proto-brown dwarf candidates. The study of their multiplicity can shed light on the dom…
