Observation of undepleted phosphine in the atmosphere of a low-temperature brown dwarf
Adam J. Burgasser, Eileen C. Gonzales, Samuel A. Beiler +16
The atmospheres of low-temperature brown dwarfs and gas giant planets are expected to contain the phosphine molecule, PH However, previous observations have shown much lower ab…
Mapping the Cloud-Driven Atmospheric Dynamics & Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures
Michael K. Plummer, Francis P. Cocchini, Peter A. Kearns +12
Young planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs near the L/T spectral transition exhibit enhanced spectrophotometric variability over field brown dwarfs. Patchy clouds, auroral proce…
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…
Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres with Virga
Natasha E. Batalha, Caoimhe M. Rooney, Channon Visscher +14
Here we present an open-source cloud model for substellar atmospheres, called Virga. The Virga-v0 series has already been widely adopted in the literature. It is written in Python…
The JWST Weather Report: retrieving temperature variations, auroral heating, and static cloud coverage on SIMP-0136
Evert Nasedkin, Merle Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
SIMP-0136 is a T2.5 brown dwarf whose young age (~Myr) and low mass (~M) make it an ideal analogue for the directly imaged exoplanet population. With…
The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. V: A Correction to the Disequilibrium Abundance of CO for Sonora Elf Owl
Nicholas F. Wogan, James Mang, Natasha E. Batalha +6
To aid the interpretation of observations of substellar atmospheres, Mukherjee et al. (2024) created the Sonora Elf Owl grid of model atmospheres, simulations that accounted for di…
