A New Sirius-like System at Only 21 Parsecs: An Elusive White Dwarf Companion to the Nearby K-dwarf HD 38230

Alexander Venner, Logan A. Pearce, Qier An +6

White dwarfs are among the rarest and faintest stars found in the solar neighbourhood and are therefore persistently challenging to detect. Whereas the \textit{Gaia} mission has va…

Statistics on the population of distant substellar companions to nearby stars

Souleymane Ouedraogo, Étienne 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…

The Y Dwarf Population with HST: unlocking the secrets of our coolest neighbours -- III. Near-Infrared Photometry

Clémence Fontanive, Luigi R. Bedin, Mark W. Phillips +4

Y dwarfs represent the coldest class of brown dwarfs, with effective temperatures below 500K, and provide unique analogues to cold giant exoplanets. We present a large compilation…

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…

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…
