Silicate Precursor Silane detected in Cold Low-Metallicity Brown Dwarf
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Aaron M. Meisner, Ben Burningham +28
Within 20 pc of the Sun there are currently 29 known cold brown dwarfs, sources with measured distances and an estimated effective temperature between that of Jupiter (170K) and ~5…
Discovery of the Second Y+Y Dwarf Binary System: CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3
Matthew De Furio, Jacqueline Kelly Faherty, Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi +10
We present the discovery of a companion to the Y-dwarf, CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3, the second Y-Y dwarf binary detected to date. Y-dwarfs are the coldest known free-floating objec…
How long-lived grains dominate the shape of the Zodiacal Cloud
Petr Pokorny, Althea V. Moorhead, Marc J. Kuchner +2
Grain-grain collisions shape the 3-dimensional size and velocity distribution of the inner Zodiacal Cloud and the impact rates of dust on inner planets, yet they remain the least u…
Exocometary gas in the HD 181327 debris ring
S. Marino, L. Matra, C. Stark +14
An increasing number of observations have shown that gaseous debris discs are not an exception. However, until now we only knew of cases around A stars. Here we present the first d…
Close Binaries with Infrared Excess: Destroyers of Worlds?
M. Matranga, J. J. Drake, V. L. Kashyap +2
We present the results of a Spitzer photometric investigation into the IR excesses of close binary systems. In a sample of 10 objects, excesses in IRAC and MIPS24 bands implying th…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
