Searching for Ultracool Dwarfs in Early LSST Data Products
Easton J. Honaker, John E. Gizis, Christian Aganze +8
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) promises to drastically accelerate the discovery of ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) over the course of its 10-year su…
TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf
F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44
Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…
Identifying and Characterizing Very Low Mass Spectral Blend Binaries with Machine Learning Methods
Juan Diego Draxl Giannoni, Malina Desai, Adam J. Burgasser +5
We present an approach to identifying and characterizing unresolved, very low mass spectral blend binaries composed of late-M, L, and T dwarfs using machine learning methodologies.…
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…
The Cocytos Stream: A Disrupted Globular Cluster from our Last Major Merger?
Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +47
The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey (w…
TOI-2015b: a sub-Neptune in strong gravitational interaction with an outer non-transiting planet
K. Barkaoui, J. Korth, E. Gaidos +119
TOI-2015 is a known exoplanetary system around an M4 dwarf star, consisting of a transiting sub-Neptune planet in a 3.35-day orbital period, TOI-2015b, accompanied by a non-transit…
