Giant Tidal Tails of Helium Escaping the Hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b
Zhoujian Zhang, Caroline V. Morley, Michael Gully-Santiago +14
Capturing planets in the act of losing their atmospheres provides rare opportunities to probe their evolution history. Such analysis has been enabled by observations of the helium…
COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS). III. A Very Red L6 Benchmark Brown Dwarf around a Young M5 Dwarf
Zhoujian Zhang, Michael C. Liu, Caroline V. Morley +5
We present the third discovery from the COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS) program, the COCONUTS-3 system, composed of a young M5 primary star UCAC4 374-046899 and a ve…
Discovery of Cold Brown Dwarfs or Free-Floating Giant Planets Close to the Sun
Sandy K. Leggett, Daniel Apai, Adam Burgasser +9
This White Paper describes the opportunities for discovery of Jupiter-mass objects with 300K atmospheres. The discovery and characterization of such cold objects is vital for under…
ACCESS I: An Optical Transmission Spectrum of GJ 1214b Reveals a Heterogeneous Stellar Photosphere
Benjamin Rackham, Néstor Espinoza, Dániel Apai +8
GJ 1214b is the most studied sub-Neptune exoplanet to date. Recent measurements have shown its near-infrared transmission spectrum to be flat, pointing to a high-altitude opacity s…
Forward and Inverse Modeling of the Emission and Transmission Spectrum of GJ 436b: Investigating Metal Enrichment, Tidal Heating, and Clouds
Caroline V. Morley, Heather Knutson, Michael Line +5
The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most-studied transiting exoplanets with repeated measurements of both its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous stu…
Long-term, Multiwavelength Light Curves of Ultra-cool Dwarfs: I. An Interplay of Starspots & Clouds Likely Drive the Variability of the L3.5 dwarf 2MASS 0036+18
Bryce Croll, Philip S. Muirhead, Eunkyu Han +5
We present multi-telescope, ground-based, multiwavelength optical and near-infrared photometry of the variable L3.5 ultra-cool dwarf 2MASSW J0036159+182110. We present 22 nights of…
