Cloud Atlas: High-precision HST/WFC3/IR Time-Resolved Observations of Directly-Imaged Exoplanet HD106906b

Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Luigi R. Bedin +10

HD106906b is an ~11, ~15Myr old directly-imaged exoplanet orbiting at an extremely large distance from its host star. The wide separation (7.11 arcsec) between HD…

Cloud Atlas: Weak color modulations due to rotation in the planetary-mass companion GU Psc b and 11 other brown dwarfs

Ben W. P. Lew, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +10

Among the greatest challenges in understanding ultra-cool brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres is the evolution of cloud structure as a function of temperature and gravity. In thi…

Searching for Exosatellites Orbiting L and T Dwarfs: Connecting Planet Formation to Moon Formation and Finding New Temperate Worlds

Philip S. Muirhead, Julie N. Skinner, Jacqueline Radigan +7

L-type and T-type dwarfs span the boundaries between main-sequence stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects. For these reasons, L and T dwarfs are the perfect laboratories f…

Cloud Atlas: High-Contrast Time-Resolved Observations of Planetary-Mass Companions

Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Ben W. P. Lew +11

Directly-imaged planetary-mass companions offer unique opportunities in atmospheric studies of exoplanets. They share characteristics of both brown dwarfs and transiting exoplanets…

Cloud Atlas: Rotational Modulations in the L/T Transition Brown Dwarf Companion HN Peg B

Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Stanimir Metchev +11

Time-resolved observations of brown dwarfs' rotational modulations provide powerful insights into the properties of condensate clouds in ultra-cool atmospheres. Multi-wavelength li…

: Pressure-dependent Changes In Light Curve Phase In Brown Dwarfs From Simultaneous and Observations

Hao Yang, Dániel Apai, Mark S. Marley +9

We present /IRAC Ch1 and Ch2 monitoring of six brown dwarfs during 8 different epochs over the course of 20 months. For four brown dwarfs, we also obtained simulataneous $…
