Mapping atmospheric features of the planetary-mass brown dwarf SIMP 0136 with JWST NIRISS
Roman Akhmetshyn, Etienne Artigau, Nicolas B. Cowan +9
In this paper, we analyze James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph time-series spectroscopy data to characterize the atmosphere of the planetary-ma…
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…
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…
Diversity of Cold Worlds: Predicted Near- to Mid-infrared Spectral Signatures of a Cold Brown Dwarf with Potential Auroral Heating
Genaro Suárez, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +12
Recent JWST/NIRSpec observations have revealed strong methane emission at 3.326 microns in the 482 K brown dwarf CWISEP J193518.59154620.3 (W1935). Atmospheric modeling…
The JWST Weather Report: retrieving temperature variations, auroral heating, and static cloud coverage on SIMP-0136
Evert Nasedkin, Merle Schrader, Johanna M. Vos +15
SIMP-0136 is a T2.5 brown dwarf whose young age (~Myr) and low mass (~M) make it an ideal analogue for the directly imaged exoplanet population. With…
Silicate Precursor Silane detected in Cold Low-Metallicity Brown Dwarf
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Aaron M. Meisner, Ben Burningham +28
Within 20 pc of the Sun there are currently 29 known cold brown dwarfs, sources with measured distances and an estimated effective temperature between that of Jupiter (170K) and ~5…
