Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST NIRISS SOSS: No Evidence for the Transit Light Source Effect
Olivia Lim, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +25
In just over three years of operation, JWST has observed all seven planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The two innermost planets were found to have little to no atmosphere, barring t…
ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design and performance analysis of the YJH spectrograph
Vinooja Thurairethinam, David Lee, James Stevenson +29
The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is a powerful second-generation high-resolution spectroscopic instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). The UBV…
Statistics on the population of distant substellar companions to nearby stars
Souleymane Ouedraogo, Ãtienne Artigau, Sié Zacharie Kam +5
Context. Wide substellar companions provide important benchmarks for studying the formation and evolution of brown dwarfs and giant planets. Their association with stellar primarie…
Silicate Clouds, SiO, and Molecular Trends across the L-T Sequence: A JWST/MIRI LRS Spectral Library of Brown Dwarfs
Sam Barber, Stanimir Metchev, Genaro Suárez +12
We present the results of a survey program with JWST's MIRI LRS that obtained 514 m R~100 spectra of twenty-three L0T6 dwarfs. This spectral type range spans the formation…
Stellar Multiplicity of M Dwarfs with Short-period Giant Planets, and the Characterization of TOI-5628Ab
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Charles Cadieux +33
Binary stars are ubiquitous, yet it remains unclear how wide-orbit stellar companions influence the formation of hot Jupiters, particularly around M dwarfs. Here, we first report t…
An Aligned Very-Low-Mass Star Orbiting an M dwarf and Obliquity Patterns Across Giant Planets, Brown Dwarfs, and Binary Stars
Tianjun Gan, Alexandrine L'Heureux, Ãtienne Artigau +4
Stellar obliquity serves as a key diagnostic for tracing the dynamical evolution of bound systems-from giant planets and brown dwarfs to stellar binaries-revealing whether these di…
