VLTI/GRAVITY Provides Evidence the Young, Substellar Companion HD 136164 Ab formed like a "Failed Star"
William O. Balmer, L. Pueyo, S. Lacour +93
Young, low-mass Brown Dwarfs orbiting early-type stars, with low mass ratios (), appear intrinsically rare and present a formation dilemma: could a handful of these…
First VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of HIP 65426 b: Evidence for a Low or Moderate Orbital Eccentricity
S. Blunt, W. O. Balmer, J. J. Wang +95
Giant exoplanets have been directly imaged over orders of magnitude of orbital separations, prompting theoretical and observational investigations of their formation pathways. In t…
A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST
TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80
Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…
New Mass and Radius Constraints on the LHS 1140 Planets -- LHS 1140 b is Either a Temperate Mini-Neptune or a Water World
Charles Cadieux, Mykhaylo Plotnykov, René Doyon +43
The two-planet transiting system LHS 1140 has been extensively observed since its discovery in 2017, notably with , HST, TESS, and ESPRESSO, placing strong constraints on…
VLTI/GRAVITY Observations and Characterization of the Brown Dwarf Companion HD 72946 B
W. O. Balmer, L. Pueyo, T. Stolker +96
Tension remains between the observed and modeled properties of substellar objects, but objects in binary orbits, with known dynamical masses can provide a way forward. HD 72946 B i…
Water Condensation Zones around Main Sequence Stars
Martin Turbet, Thomas J. Fauchez, Jeremy Leconte +10
Understanding the set of conditions that allow rocky planets to have liquid water on their surface -- in the form of lakes, seas or oceans -- is a major scientific step to determin…
