VLTI/GRAVITY Provides Evidence the Young, Substellar Companion HD 136164 Ab formed like a "Failed Star"
William O. Balmer, L. Pueyo, S. Lacour +93
Young, low-mass Brown Dwarfs orbiting early-type stars, with low mass ratios (), appear intrinsically rare and present a formation dilemma: could a handful of these…
CD-27 11535: Evidence for a Triple System in the Pictoris Moving Group
Andrew D. Thomas, Eric L. Nielsen, Robert J. De Rosa +20
We present new spatially resolved astrometry and photometry of the CD-27 11535 system, a member of the Pictoris moving group consisting of two resolved K-type stars on a …
First VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of HIP 65426 b: Evidence for a Low or Moderate Orbital Eccentricity
S. Blunt, W. O. Balmer, J. J. Wang +95
Giant exoplanets have been directly imaged over orders of magnitude of orbital separations, prompting theoretical and observational investigations of their formation pathways. In t…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems III: Aperture Masking Interferometric Observations of the star HIP 65426 at 3.8 um
Shrishmoy Ray, Steph Sallum, Sasha Hinkley +121
We present aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of the star HIP 65426 at as a part of the JWST Direct Imaging Early Release Science (ERS) program obtai…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned
Steph Sallum, Shrishmoy Ray, Jens Kammerer +120
We present a performance analysis for the aperture masking interferometry (AMI) mode on board the James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NI…
The Comprehensive Archive of Substellar and Planetary Accretion Rates
S. K. Betti, K. B. Follette, K. Ward-Duong +11
Accretion rates () of young stars show a strong correlation with object mass (); however, extension of the relation into the substellar regime is less certa…
VLTI/GRAVITY Observations and Characterization of the Brown Dwarf Companion HD 72946 B
W. O. Balmer, L. Pueyo, T. Stolker +96
Tension remains between the observed and modeled properties of substellar objects, but objects in binary orbits, with known dynamical masses can provide a way forward. HD 72946 B i…
UV-Optical Emission of AB Aur b is Consistent with Scattered Stellar Light
Yifan Zhou, Brendan P. Bowler, Haifeng Yang +12
The proposed protoplanet AB Aur b is a spatially concentrated emission source imaged in the mm-wavelength disk gap of the Herbig Ae/Be star AB Aur. Its near-infrared spectrum and a…
Spatially resolved imaging of the inner Fomalhaut disk using JWST/MIRI
Andras Gaspar, Schuyler Grace Wolff, George H. Rieke +9
Planetary debris disks around other stars are analogous to the Asteroid and Kuiper belts in the Solar System. Their structure reveals the configuration of small bodies and provides…
Correlating Changes in Spot Filling Factors with Stellar Rotation: The Case of LkCa 4
Facundo Pérez Paolino, Jeffrey S. Bary, Michael S. Petersen +4
We present a multi-epoch spectroscopic study of LkCa 4, a heavily spotted non-accreting T Tauri star. Using SpeX at NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), 12 spectra were colle…
Testing the Interaction Between a Substellar Companion and a Debris Disk in the HR 2562 System
Stella Yimiao Zhang, Gaspard Duchêne, Robert J. De Rosa +51
The HR 2562 system is a rare case where a brown dwarf companion resides in a cleared inner hole of a debris disk, offering invaluable opportunities to study the dynamical interacti…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems: Best Practices for Data Collection in Cycle 2 and Beyond
Sasha Hinkley, Beth Biller, Andrew Skemer +35
We present a set of recommended best practices for JWST data collection for members of the community focussed on the direct imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanetary systems. These…
