Direct imaging of sub-Jupiter mass exoplanets with James Webb Space Telescope coronagraphy
Aarynn L. Carter, Sasha Hinkley, Mariangela Bonavita +7
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), currently scheduled to launch in 2021, will dramatically advance our understanding of exoplanetary systems with its ability to directly image…
The Tau Association: A 60 Myr-Old Coeval Group at 150 pc from the Sun
Jonathan Gagné, Trevor J. David, Eric E. Mamajek +3
[Abbreviated] We present an analysis of the newly identified Tau Association (MUTA) of young stars at 150 pc from the Sun that is part of the large Cas-Tau structure, co…
EarthFinder Probe Mission Concept Study: Characterizing nearby stellar exoplanet systems with Earth-mass analogs for future direct imaging
Peter Plavchan, Gautam Vasisht, Chas Beichman +52
EarthFinder is a NASA Astrophysics Probe mission concept selected for study as input to the 2020 Astrophysics National Academies Decadal Survey. The EarthFinder concept is based on…
The Low-Mass Members of the Ursa Major Association
Jonathan Gagné, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Mark Popinchalk
We present a set of 5 over-densities in spatial-kinematic space previously identified by Kounkel & Covey (2019) that may constitute extended tidal tails associated with the nearby,…
Birth Sites of Young Stellar Associations and Recent Star Formation in a Flocculent Corrugated Disk
Alice C. Quillen, Alex R. Pettitt, Sukanya Chakrabarti +3
With backwards orbit integration we estimate birth locations of young stellar associations and moving groups identified in the solar neighborhood that are younger than 70 Myr. The…
The ASAS-SN Catalog of Variable Stars VIII: "Dipper" Stars in the Lupus Star-Forming Region
J. W. Bredall, B. J. Shappee, E. Gaidos +9
Some young stellar objects such as T Tauri-like "dipper" stars vary due to transient partial occultation by circumstellar dust, and observations of this phenomenon inform us of con…
WISEA J083011.95+283716.0: A Missing Link Planetary-Mass Object
Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Adam C. Schneider +16
We present the discovery of WISEA J083011.95+283716.0, the first Y dwarf candidate identified through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project. We identified this obje…
