A Search for Methane in the Atmosphere of GJ 1214b via GTC Narrow-Band Transmission Spectrophotometry
P. A. Wilson, K. D. Colón, D. K. Sing +11
We present narrow-band photometric measurements of the exoplanet GJ 1214b using the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the OSIRIS instrument. Using tuneable filters we obser…
Resolved Spectroscopy of the T8.5 and Y0-0.5 Binary WISEPC J121756.91+162640.2AB
S. K. Leggett, Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy +3
We present 0.9 - 2.5 um resolved spectra for the ultracool binary WISEPC J121756.91+162640.2AB. The system consists of a pair of brown dwarfs that straddles the currently defined T…
Fundamental properties of T dwarfs from model fits to FIRE spectra
C. P. Nicholls, A. J. Burgasser, C. V. Morley
We fit a sample of 49 R=6000 NIR (0.9 - 2.5 micron) T dwarf spectra obtained with Magellan's FIRE spectrograph with two different atmospheric model sets to compare the derived phys…
Quantitatively Assessing the Role of Clouds in the Transmission Spectrum of GJ 1214b
Caroline V. Morley, Jonathan J. Fortney, Eliza M. -R. Kempton +3
Recent observations of the super-Earth GJ 1214b show that it has a relatively featureless transmission spectrum. One suggestion is that these observations indicate that the planet'…
A Study of the Diverse T Dwarf Population Revealed by WISE
Gregory N. Mace, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Michael C. Cushing +23
We report the discovery of 87 new T dwarfs uncovered with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and three brown dwarfs with extremely red near-infrared colors that exhibit…
