Spitzer IRAC observations of JWST calibration stars

Jessica E. Krick, Patrick Lowrance, Sean Carey +10

We present infrared photometry of all 36 potential JWST calibrators for which there is archival Spitzer IRAC data. This photometry can then be used to inform stellar models necessa…

The Field Substellar Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 525 L, T, and Y Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Christopher R. Gelino, Jacqueline K. Faherty +49

We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of th…

Preliminary Trigonometric Parallaxes of 184 Late-T and Y Dwarfs and an Analysis of the Field Substellar Mass Function into the "Planetary" Mass Regime

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Emily C. Martin, Richard L. Smart +16

We present preliminary trigonometric parallaxes of 184 late-T and Y dwarfs using observations from Spitzer (143), USNO (18), NTT (14), and UKIRT (9). To complete the 20-pc census o…

Y dwarf Trigonometric Parallaxes from the Spitzer Space Telescope

Emily C. Martin, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Charles A. Beichman +12

Y dwarfs provide a unique opportunity to study free-floating objects with masses 30 M and atmospheric temperatures approaching those of known Jupiter-like exoplanets. Ob…

Non-detection of Contamination by Stellar Activity in the Spitzer Transit Light Curves of TRAPPIST-1

Brett M. Morris, Eric Agol, Leslie Hebb +6

We apply the transit light curve self-contamination technique of Morris et al. (2018) to search for the effect of stellar activity on the transits of the ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1…
