TOI-6981 b: a transiting sub-Neptune at the water ice line

Madison G. Scott, Amaury H. M. J Triaud, Emily K. Pass +42

We present TOI-6981 b, a cold (Teq= 170.0 +/-4.5 K, assuming an Earth-like albedo) sub-Neptune (Rb=2.40+/-0.10 R_oplus) on a 60.8 day orbit around around its M4-type host star (R*=…

JWST Observations of the Metal-poor T Dwarf WISEA J155349.96+693355.2: The First Brown Dwarf Associated with the Gaia-Enceladus Milky Way Substructure

Aaron M. Meisner, Adam J. Burgasser, Chih-Chun Hsu +15

We present JWST NIRSpec and MIRI observations of the metal-poor T dwarf WISEA J155349.96+693355.2. The combined NIRSpec/prism plus MIRI/LRS spectrum (R ~ 100) provides 0.6-12 m…

First Pre-peak Ultraviolet Spectrum of a Tidal Disruption Event: A Fast Outflow Revealed Prior to Maximum Light in TDE2025aarm

Erica Hammerstein, Ryan Chornock, Jean Somalwar +32

The tidal disruption and eventual accretion of a star by a massive black hole can lead to the launching of outflows and winds that encode important information about the tidal disr…
