Multi-Epoch Stability in the Rotational Modulation of the Planetary-Mass Companion Ross 458C
Elena Manjavacas, Jared Bull, Paulo Miles-Paez +7
Spectroscopic variability is detected in brown dwarfs across all spectral types, suggesting atmospheric patchiness in brown dwarf atmospheres. We present JWST/NIRSpec time series o…
First detection of a disk free of volatile elements around a young A-type star: A sign of collisions between rocky planets?
M. E. van den Ancker, N. P. Gentile Fusillo, T. J. Haworth +7
Aims. We present the first detailed analysis of the astrophysical parameters of the poorly studied Sco-Cen member HD 152384 and its circumstellar environment. Methods. We analyze n…
Weather on Other Worlds. V. The Three Most Rapidly Rotating Ultra-Cool Dwarfs
Megan E. Tannock, Stanimir Metchev, Aren Heinze +7
We present the discovery of rapid photometric variability in three ultra-cool dwarfs from long-duration monitoring with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The T7, L3.5, and L8 dwarfs hav…
New Mid-Infrared Imaging Constraints on Companions and Protoplanetary Disks around six Young Stars
D. J. M. Petit dit de la Roche, N. Oberg, M. E. van den Ancker +13
Mid-infrared imaging traces the sub-micron and micron sized dust grains in protoplanetary disks and it offers constraints on the geometrical properties of the disks and potential c…
Maintaining the Ephemeris of 20 CoRoT Planets: Transit Minimum Times and Potential Transit Timing Variations
Hans J. Deeg, Peter Klagyivik, J. D. Armstrong +11
We present 33 transit minimum times of 20 transiting planets discovered by the CoRoT mission, which have been obtained from ground-based observations since the mission's end in 201…
Cloud Atlas: Unraveling the vertical cloud structure with the time-series spectrophotometry of an unusually red brown dwarf
Ben W. P. Lew, Dániel Apai, Mark Marley +8
Rotational modulations of emission spectra in brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres show that clouds are often distributed non-uniformly in these ultracool atmospheres. The spatial…
Cloud Atlas: High-precision HST/WFC3/IR Time-Resolved Observations of Directly-Imaged Exoplanet HD106906b
Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Luigi R. Bedin +10
HD106906b is an ~11, ~15Myr old directly-imaged exoplanet orbiting at an extremely large distance from its host star. The wide separation (7.11 arcsec) between HD…
Cloud Atlas: Weak color modulations due to rotation in the planetary-mass companion GU Psc b and 11 other brown dwarfs
Ben W. P. Lew, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +10
Among the greatest challenges in understanding ultra-cool brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres is the evolution of cloud structure as a function of temperature and gravity. In thi…
Cloud Atlas: Variability in and out of the Water Band in the Planetary-mass HD 203030B Points to Cloud Sedimentation in Low-gravity L Dwarfs
Paulo A. Miles-Páez, Stanimir Metchev, Dániel Apai +11
We use the Wide Field Camera 3 on the {\sl Hubble Space Telescope} to spectrophotometrically monitor the young L7.5 companion HD~203030B. Our time series reveal photometric variabi…
Cloud Atlas: Rotational Modulations in the L/T Transition Brown Dwarf Companion HN Peg B
Yifan Zhou, Dániel Apai, Stanimir Metchev +11
Time-resolved observations of brown dwarfs' rotational modulations provide powerful insights into the properties of condensate clouds in ultra-cool atmospheres. Multi-wavelength li…
The Prototypical Young L/T-Transition Dwarf HD 203030B Likely Has Planetary Mass
Paulo A. Miles-Páez, Stanimir A. Metchev, Kevin L. Luhman +2
Upon its discovery in 2006, the young L7.5 companion to the solar analog HD 203030 was found to be unusual in being 200 K cooler than older late-L dwarfs. HD 203030B offer…
Rotation periods and photometric variability of rapidly rotating ultra-cool dwarfs
P. A. Miles-Páez, E. Pallé, M. R. Zapatero Osorio
We used the optical and near-infrared imagers located on the Liverpool, the IAC80, and the William Herschel telescopes to monitor 18 M7L9.5 dwarfs with the objective of measurin…
A Statistical Survey of Peculiar L and T Dwarfs in SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE
Kendra Kellogg, Stanimir Metchev, Paulo A. Miles-Páez +1
We present the final results from a targeted search for brown dwarfs with unusual near-infrared colors. From a positional cross-match of SDSS, 2MASS and WISE, we have identified 14…
