The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: trials and triumphs of designing an observing program for a technology demonstration instrument
Schuyler G. Wolff, Vanessa P. Bailey, Justin Hom +19
The Coronagraph Instrument onboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope serves as a crucial technology pathfinder for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, with on-sky verification of…
ForMoSA: Forward Modeling tool for Spectral Analysis
ForMoSA Collaboration, Simon Petrus, Paulina Palma-Bifani +9
ForMoSA is an open‑source Python package that uses Bayesian methods to fit spectroscopic and photometric data of directly imaged young planetary‑mass brown dwarfs and exoplanets, s…
Latitudinal chemical and cloud variations in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf
Benjamin Charnay, Sam de Regt, Matthieu Ravet +8
The paper introduces a technique called Differential Molecular Rotational Broadening to detect latitudinal chemical differences in brown dwarf atmospheres, and applies it to VLT-CR…
CO and potential variability in Pictoris b with GRAVITY+
Antonia von Stauffenberg, Jonas Sauter, Paul Mollière +18
The CO/CO ratio was introduced as an indicator for where in the disk a planet has formed. Previously a lower value compared to the host star's was suggested to show t…
Next-generation Exo-REM atmospheric models: application to VHS 1256 b to emulate patchy clouds
Alice Radcliffe, Benjamin Charnay, Anne-Marie Lagrange +7
Condensate clouds are a defining feature of brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres, producing a broad range of colours on the CMD and giving rise to spectral features such as the di…
Oxygen and nitrogen isotopologues on cold COCONUTS-2b observed with MIRI/MRS
H. Kühnle, E. C. Matthews, P. Mollière +12
Linking the composition of gas giant planets to their formation paths has long been a goal in exoplanet science. Especially, cold gas giants with temperatures below 500K have…
