Direct Imaging Constraints on Binary Planets and Exomoons around Epsilon Indi A b
Matson Garza, Mary Anne Limbach, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +6
Epsilon Indi A b is a directly imaged exoplanet orbiting a nearby (3.6 pc) K-dwarf at AU. We analyze archival JWST/MIRI 15 m coronagraphic imaging…
The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
Loïc Albert, Sabrina R. Poulsen, Ãrika Le Bourdais +17
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging…
Discovery of the Second Y+Y Dwarf Binary System: CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3
Matthew De Furio, Jacqueline Kelly Faherty, Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi +10
We present the discovery of a companion to the Y-dwarf, CWISEP J193518.59-154620.3, the second Y-Y dwarf binary detected to date. Y-dwarfs are the coldest known free-floating objec…
Probing the Outskirts of M Dwarf Planetary Systems with a Cycle 1 JWST NIRCam Coronagraphy Survey
Ellis Bogat, Joshua E. Schlieder, Kellen D. Lawson +18
The population of giant planets on wide orbits around low-mass M dwarf stars is poorly understood, but the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST NIRCam coronagraphic imaging now provid…
Identification of a turnover in the initial mass function of a young stellar cluster down to 0.5 M
Matthew De Furio, Michael R. Meyer, Thomas Greene +11
A successful theory of star formation should predict the number of objects as a function of their mass produced through star-forming events. Previous studies in star-forming region…
A giant planet transiting a 3-Myr protostar with a misaligned disk
Madyson G. Barber, Andrew W. Mann, Andrew Vanderburg +35
Astronomers have found more than a dozen planets transiting 10-40 million year old stars, but even younger transiting planets have remained elusive. A possible reason for the lack…
