Gray Spectral Variability in Three Brown Dwarfs Observed by HST/WFC3 Time-Series Observations
Madalyn F. Chapleski, Yifan Zhou
The L/T transition is a critical evolutionary stage for brown dwarfs and self-luminous giant planets. L/T transition brown dwarfs are more likely to be spectroscopically variable,…
Sensitivity to Sub-Io-sized Exosatellite Transits in the MIRI LRS Lightcurve of the Nearest Substellar Worlds
Andrew Householder, Mary Anne Limbach, Beth Biller +20
JWST's unprecedented sensitivity enables precise spectrophotometric monitoring of substellar worlds, revealing atmospheric variability driven by mechanisms operating across differe…
Seismic Oscillations Excited by Giant Impacts in Directly-Imaged Giant Planets
J. J. Zanazzi, Eugene Chiang, Yifan Zhou
The radii and masses of many giant exoplanets imply their interiors each contain more than 100 of solids. A large metal content may arise when a giant planet grows…
H Variability of AB Aur b with the Hubble Space Telescope: Probing the Nature of a Protoplanet Candidate with Accretion Light Echoes
Brendan P. Bowler, Yifan Zhou, Lauren I. Biddle +11
Giant planets generate accretion luminosity as they form. Much of this energy is radiated in strong H line emission, which has motivated direct imaging surveys at optical wavele…
Evidence for Variable Accretion onto PDS 70 c and Implications for Protoplanet Detections
Yifan Zhou, Brendan P. Bowler, Aniket Sanghi +14
Understanding the processes of planet formation and accretion in young systems is essential to unraveling the initial conditions of planetary systems. The PDS 70 system, which host…
Phase-resolved Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 Spectroscopy of Weakly-Irradiated Brown Dwarf GD 1400 and Energy Redistribution-Irradiation Trends in Six WDBD Binaries
Rachael C. Amaro, Dániel Apai, Yifan Zhou +8
Irradiated brown dwarfs offer a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between stellar and planetary atmospheres. We present high-quality /WFC3/G141 phase-resolved spec…
