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…

JWST Coronagraphic Images of 14 Her c: a Cold Giant Planet in a Dynamically Hot, Multi-planet System

Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, William O. Balmer, Laurent Pueyo +16

Most observed multi-planet systems are coplanar, in a dynamically "cold" configuration of concentric orbits like our own Solar System. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) we…

Diversity of Cold Worlds: A Near Complete Spectral Energy Distribution for 2MASS J04151954-0935066 using JWST

Sherelyn Alejandro Merchan, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Genaro Suárez +25

We present the a near complete spectral energy distribution (SED) for an extrasolar world: the T8 brown dwarf 2MASS~J041519540935066. Spanning from optical to mid-infrared (0.7-…

The Y Dwarf Population with HST: unlocking the secrets of our coolest neighbours -- II. Parallaxes and Proper Motions

Clémence Fontanive, Luigi R. Bedin, Loïc Albert +1

We present astrometric results from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) campaign aimed at determining precise distances for cold Y-type brown dwarfs. Combining observations from a dedic…

SCExAO/CHARIS Spectroscopic Characterization of Cloudy L/T Transition Companion Brown Dwarf HIP 93398 B

Briley Lewis, Yiting Li, Aidan Gibbs +10

Brown dwarfs with measured dynamical masses and spectra from direct imaging are benchmarks that anchor substellar atmosphere cooling and evolution models. We present Subaru SCExAO/…

The Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) II. Transit Candidates and Implications for Planet Occurrence around L and T Dwarfs

Patrick Tamburo, Philip S. Muirhead, Allison M. McCarthy +7

We describe a new transit detection algorithm designed to detect single transit events in discontinuous Perkins INfrared Exosatellite Survey (PINES) observations of L and T dwarfs.…

14 Her: a likely case of planet-planet scattering

Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Yiting Li +4

In this Letter, we measure the full orbital architecture of the two-planet system around the nearby K0 dwarf 14 Herculis. 14 Her (HD 145675, HIP 79248) is a middle-aged ($4.6^{+3.8…

Individual Dynamical Masses of DENIS J063001.4184014AB Reveal A Likely Young Brown Dwarf Triple

Johannes Sahlmann, Trent J. Dupuy, Adam J. Burgasser +6

The binary nature of the M8.5 dwarf DENIS J063001.4184014AB (DE063018) was discovered with astrometric monitoring from the ground, which determined the unresolved photocentri…

WISE J135501.90-825838.9 is a Nearby, Young, Extremely Low-mass Substellar Binary

C. A. Theissen, D. C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, J. K. Faherty +2

We present a parallax solution for WISE J135501.90-825838.9, a spectral binary with spectral types L7+T7.5 and candidate AB Doradus member. Using astrometry, we obtain a dis…

Searching for Exosatellites Orbiting L and T Dwarfs: Connecting Planet Formation to Moon Formation and Finding New Temperate Worlds

Philip S. Muirhead, Julie N. Skinner, Jacqueline Radigan +7

L-type and T-type dwarfs span the boundaries between main-sequence stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects. For these reasons, L and T dwarfs are the perfect laboratories f…
