Time-resolved JWST Retrieval Analysis of the Coldest Brown Dwarf: Temperature and Chemical Variations in WISE 0855-07

Harshil Kothari, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +12

WISE J0855-07 is the coldest known brown dwarf (estimated Teff~250 K), offering a rare opportunity to probe atmospheric physics in the temperature and mass regime that overlaps dir…

Water Cloud and Chemical Modulations in the Coldest Brown Dwarf

Brittany E. Miles, James Mang, Caroline V. Morley +24

We present high signal-to-noise, medium resolution (R ~ 1000), time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855 (265K), the coldest known brown dwarf. Medium resolution, time-series s…

Sinking Silicates I: Characterizing the benchmark system containing the T0 brown dwarf CWISE J210640.16+250729.0 using JWST

Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +16

In this study, we present the full (97.3\% complete) 0.8--12.5 m spectral energy distribution (SED) of an L/T transition object, CWISE J210640.16+250729.0 (CW2106), using the Ja…

Benchmark Brown Dwarfs as Chemical Laboratories: Linking System Bulk Properties to Atmospheric Retrievals

Viktória Kecskeméthy, Ben Burningham, Fei Wang +8

We present the first atmospheric retrieval analysis of two compositional benchmark mid-L dwarfs -- SDSSJ141659.78+500626.4 and GJ 499 C -- using the \textit{Brewster} retrieval fra…

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…

The JWST weather report: Unravelling the atmospheric variability of isolated worlds using principal component analysis

Merle A. Schrader, Johanna M. Vos, Evert Nasedkin +17

Brown dwarf variability directly probes atmospheric dynamics beyond the Solar System, and recent JWST time-resolved spectroscopy has opened a new window into these processes. Princ…
