Speckle Interferometry at SOAR in 2024 and 2025

Andrei Tokovinin, Brian D. Mason, Rene A. Mendez +1

Results of speckle interferometry observations at the 4.1 m SOuthern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope obtained during 2024-2025 are presented. We present 5316 measurements o…

Spitzer + HST parallaxes of 13 late T and Y dwarfs

Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Richard L. Smart +13

We present astrometric measurements for 13 cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood (d < 20pc). By combining archival Spitzer data with our own Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obse…

A review on fundamental bounds and estimators for photometry and astrometry of celestial point sources using array detectors, from first principles

Sebastián Espinosa, Rene A. Mendez, Jorge F. Silva +1

Precise astrometric and photometric measurements of celestial point sources are fundamental to modern astronomy. These measurements, used to determine object positions, motions, an…

The Diversity of Cold Worlds: Age and Characterization of the Exoplanet COCONUTS-2b

Rocio Kiman, Charles A. Beichman, Azul Ruiz Diaz +19

Studying cold brown dwarfs is key to understanding the diverse characteristics of cold giant exoplanets atmospheres. COCONUTS-2, is a wide binary system composed of a T9 brown dwar…

The impact of the point spread function fitting radius on photometric uncertainty based on the Fisher information matrix

Sebastian Espinosa, Mario L. Vicuña, Rene A. Mendez +2

In point spread function (PSF) photometry, the selection of the fitting aperture radius plays a critical role in determining the precision of flux and background estimations. Tradi…

Southern binaries with the Zorro Speckle Camera @ Gemini-South

Rene A. Mendez, Andrei Tokovinin, Edgardor Costa +1

We present measurements in the context of a survey of southern hemisphere binary and multiple stellar systems observed with the Zorro Speckle dual diffraction-limited optical imagi…
