The Hubble Ultracool Multiplicity (HUM) Survey. I. Characterizing Sensitivity to Companions at Sub-Diffraction Limit Separations with HST WFC3/IR
Kunal Mehta, Matthew De Furio, Daniella Bardalez Gagliuffi +6
We characterize the sensitivity of a double point-spread function (PSF) fitting algorithm -- employing empirical, position-dependent PSF models -- for detecting companions using th…
The NEID Earth Twin Survey. II. Dynamical Masses in Seven High-acceleration Star Systems
Mark R. Giovinazzi, Cullen H. Blake, Paul Robertson +26
We present a set of companion dynamical masses and orbital parameters of seven star systems from the NEID Earth Twin Survey with significant absolute astrometric accelerations betw…
Unveiling the Infrared Excess of SIPS J2045-6332: Evidence for a Young Stellar Object with Potential Low-Mass Companion
Michiharu Hyogo, Thomas P. Bickle, Joseph R. Biggs +20
The Disk Detective project, a citizen science initiative, aims to identify circumstellar discs around stars by detecting objects with infrared (IR) excess using data from the Wide-…
JWST 1.5 μm and 4.8 μm Photometry of Y Dwarfs
Loïc Albert, Sandy K. Leggett, Per Calissendorff +20
Brown dwarfs lack nuclear fusion and cool with time; the coldest known have an effective temperature below 500 K, and are known as Y dwarfs. We present a James Webb Space Telescope…
The Y Dwarf Population with HST: unlocking the secrets of our coolest neighbours -- II. Parallaxes and Proper Motions
Clémence Fontanive, Luigi R. Bedin, Loïc Albert +1
We present astrometric results from a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) campaign aimed at determining precise distances for cold Y-type brown dwarfs. Combining observations from a dedic…
