A Novel Survey for Young Substellar Objects with the W-band Filter. VII. Water-Bearing Objects in the Core of the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex
Tanvi Sharma, Wen-Ping Chen, Beth Biller +6
We present a study of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the rich star-forming core of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. The selection of the sample relies on detecting the inhe…
JWST Resolves CIA Features in White Dwarfs
Simon Blouin, Mukremin Kilic, Loic Albert +2
Infrared-faint white dwarfs are cool white dwarfs exhibiting significant infrared flux deficits, most often attributed to collision-induced absorption (CIA) from H-He in mixed…
The JWST/NIRISS Deep Spectroscopic Survey for Young Brown Dwarfs and Free-Floating Planets
Adam B. Langeveld, Aleks Scholz, Koraljka MužiÄ +9
The discovery and characterization of free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPMOs) is fundamental to our understanding of star and planet formation. Here we report results from an…
Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet LHS 1140 b with JWST/NIRISS
Charles Cadieux, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +20
LHS 1140 b is the second-closest temperate transiting planet to the Earth with an equilibrium temperature low enough to support surface liquid water. At 1.7300.025 R,…
