The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. VII. Flame Skimmer: Cloud-free Atmospheric and Evolutionary Models for the Coldest Substellar Objects

James Mang, Yayaati Chachan, Caroline V. Morley +7

JWST has provided unprecedented access to ultra-cool brown dwarfs and has pushed the boundaries of directly imaging temperate giant planets. As we continue to push toward detecting…

Data availability and requirements relevant for the Ariel space mission and other exoplanet atmosphere applications

Katy L. Chubb, Séverine Robert, Clara Sousa-Silva +52

The goal of this white paper is to provide a snapshot of the data availability and data needs primarily for the Ariel space mission, but also for related atmospheric studies of exo…

Diversity of Cold Worlds: A Near Complete Spectral Energy Distribution for 2MASS J04151954-0935066 using JWST

Sherelyn Alejandro Merchan, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Genaro Suárez +25

We present the a near complete spectral energy distribution (SED) for an extrasolar world: the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS~J041519540935066. Spanning from optical to mid-infrared (0.7-…

The Diversity of Cold Worlds: a blended-light binary straddling the T/Y transition in brown dwarfs

Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Genaro Suarez +22

We present the first brown dwarf spectral binary characterized with JWST: WISE J014656.66+423410.0, the coldest blended-light brown dwarf binary straddling the T/Y transition. We o…

Protosolar D-to-H abundance and one part-per-billion PH in the coldest brown dwarf

Melanie J. Rowland, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +24

The coldest Y spectral type brown dwarfs are similar in mass and temperature to cool and warm (200 -- 400 K) giant exoplanets. We can therefore use their atmospheres as proxi…
