A SPHEREx Pipeline and Spectral Library for Ultracool Dwarfs
Jonathan Gagné, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Azul Ruiz Diaz +72
We present a Python spectrophotometry extraction tool tailored for fast-moving point sources detected in the SPHEREx mission, and use it to construct a set of 0.75-5.0 m low-re…
Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Adam C. Schneider, Marc J. Kuchner, Jacqueline K. Faherty +73
The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we pr…
NGTS-EB-8: A double-lined eclipsing M+M binary discovered by citizen scientists
Sean M. O'Brien, Megan E. Schwamb, Christopher A. Watson +54
We report the identification and characterization of a new binary system composed of two near-equal mass M-dwarfs. The binary NGTS-EB-8 was identified as a planet candidate in data…
High Proper Motion Discoveries from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
Wings Zhang, Adam C. Schneider, Thomas P. Bickle +31
We used the third data release of the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey to locate previously unrecognized high proper motion objects. We identify a total of 127 new discoveries with total pr…
New Ultracool Companions to Nearby White Dwarfs
Alexia Bravo, Adam C. Schneider, Sarah Casewell +15
We conducted a search for new ultracool companions to nearby white dwarfs using multiple methods, including the analysis of colors and examination of images in both the optical and…
New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…
