Protosolar D-to-H abundance and one part-per-billion PH in the coldest brown dwarf

Melanie J. Rowland, Caroline V. Morley, Brittany E. Miles +24

The coldest Y spectral type brown dwarfs are similar in mass and temperature to cool and warm (200 -- 400 K) giant exoplanets. We can therefore use their atmospheres as proxi…

Disequilibrium Chemistry, Diabatic Thermal Structure, and Clouds in the Atmosphere of COCONUTS-2b

Zhoujian Zhang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Michael C. Liu +12

Located 10.888 pc from Earth, COCONUTS-2b is a planetary-mass companion to a young (150-800 Myr) M3 star, with a wide orbital separation (6471 au) and a low companion-to-host mass…

The only inflated brown dwarf in an eclipsing white dwarf-brown dwarf binary: WD1032+011B

Jenni R. French, Sarah L. Casewell, Rachael C. Amaro +9

Due to their short orbital periods and relatively high flux ratios, irradiated brown dwarfs in binaries with white dwarfs offer better opportunities to study irradiated atmospheres…

Aggregate Cloud Particle Effects in Exoplanet Atmospheres

Sanaz Vahidinia, Sarah E. Moran, Mark S. Marley +1

Aerosol opacity has emerged as a critical factor controlling transmission and emission spectra. We provide a simple guideline for the effects of aerosol morphology on opacity and r…

Neglected Silicon Dioxide Polymorphs as Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres

Sarah E. Moran, Mark S. Marley, Samuel D. Crossley

Direct mid-infrared signatures of silicate clouds in substellar atmospheres were first detected in Spitzer observations of brown dwarfs, although their existence was previously inf…

A Tale of Two Molecules: The Underprediction of CO and Overprediction of PH in Late T and Y Dwarf Atmospheric Models

Samuel A. Beiler, Sagnick Mukherjee, Michael C. Cushing +5

The sensitivity and spectral coverage of JWST is enabling us to test our assumptions of ultracool dwarf atmospheric chemistry, especially with regards to the abundances of phosphin…
