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…

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 datase…

Uniform Forward-Modeling Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs. IV. Benchmarking the Sonora Diamondback and Saumon & Marley (2008) Atmospheric Models Across Late-M, L, and T types with Low-Resolution 0.8-2.5 m Spectroscopy

Emily Mader, Zhoujian Zhang, Jonathan J. Fortney +6

(Abridged) We present a systematic assessment of two major cloudy atmospheric model grids -- SM08 (Saumon & Marley 2008) and Sonora Diamondback -- when applied to low-resolution ne…

Chemical and Isotopic Homogeneity Between the L Dwarf CD-35 2722 B and its Early M Host Star

Gavin Wang, Jerry Xuan, Darío Picos +29

CD-35 2722 B is an L dwarf companion to the nearby, Myr old M1 dwarf CD-35 2722 A. We present a detailed analysis of both objects using high-resolution ($R \sim 35,00…
