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…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems. VII. Molecular Mapping Performance with JWST/MIRI MRS: VHS 1256 b as a case study
Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Benjamin Charnay +29
VHS 1256 b was the first planetary-mass companion to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (JWST/MIRI) using the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer…
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…
Keck Observations in the INfrared of Taurus and Oph Exoplanets And Ultracool dwarfs (KOINTREAU) I: A Planetary-Mass Companion and a Disk-Obscured Stellar Companion Discovered in Taurus
Samuel A. U. Walker, Michael C. Liu, Dimitri Mawet +10
We present the first discoveries from Keck Observations in the INfrared of Taurus and Oph Exoplanets And Ultracool dwarfs (KOINTREAU), an adaptive optics imaging survey of you…
Chemical and Isotopic Homogeneity Between the L Dwarf CD-35 2722 B and its Early M Host Star
Gavin Wang, Jerry Xuan, DarÃo 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…
