The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85
A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…
A Near-infrared Variability Survey of Young Planetary-mass Objects
Pengyu Liu, Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos +12
We present a photometric variability survey of young planetary-mass objects using the New Technology Telescope in the Js and Ks bands. Surface gravity plays an important role in th…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned
Steph Sallum, Shrishmoy Ray, Jens Kammerer +120
We present a performance analysis for the aperture masking interferometry (AMI) mode on board the James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NI…
Ultracool Dwarfs Observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph: Equatorial Latitudes in L Dwarf Atmospheres are Cloudier
Genaro Suarez, Johanna M. Vos, Stanimir Metchev +2
We report direct observational evidence for a latitudinal dependence of dust cloud opacity in ultracool dwarfs, indicating that equatorial latitudes are cloudier than polar latitud…
Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf
Elena Manjavacas, Paulo A. Miles-Paez, Theodora Karalidi +3
Recent atmospheric models for brown dwarfs suggest that the existence of clouds in substellar objects is not needed to reproduce their spectra, nor their rotationally-induced photo…
Redder than Red: Discovery of an Exceptionally Red L/T Transition Dwarf
Adam C. Schneider, Adam J. Burgasser, Justice Bruursema +26
We present the discovery of CWISE J050626.96073842.4 (CWISE J05060738), an L/T transition dwarf with extremely red near-infrared colors discovered through the Backyard Worlds…
