Protosolar D-to-H abundance and one part-per-billion PH in the coldest brown dwarf

Melanie J. Rowland, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +24

The coldest Y spectral type brown dwarfs are similar in mass and temperature to cool and warm (200 -- 400 K) giant exoplanets. We can therefore use their atmospheres as proxi…

Global weather map reveals persistent top-of-atmosphere features on the nearest brown dwarfs

Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos +10

Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass companions display rotationally modulated photometric variability, especially those near the L/T transition. This variability is commonly attributed…

89 New Ultracool Dwarf Co-Moving Companions Identified With The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Project

Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Daniella Bardalez-Gagliuffi +43

We report the identification of 89 new systems containing ultracool dwarf companions to main sequence stars and white dwarfs, using the citizen science project Backyard Worlds: Pla…

The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85

A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…

Uniform Forward-Modeling Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs. III. Late-M and L Dwarfs in Young Moving Groups, the Pleiades, and the Hyades

Spencer A. Hurt, Michael C. Liu, Zhoujian Zhang +5

We present a uniform forward-modeling analysis of 90 late-M and L dwarfs in nearby young (~ Myr) moving groups, the Pleiades, and the Hyades using low-resolution ($R\approx…

An HST survey of 33 T8 to Y1 brown dwarfs: NIR photometry and multiplicity of the coldest isolated objects

Clemence Fontanive, Luigi R. Bedin, Matthew De Furio +5

We present results from a Hubble Space Telescope imaging search for low-mass binary and planetary companions to 33 nearby brown dwarfs with spectral types of T8-Y1. Our survey prov…
