Global weather map reveals persistent top-of-atmosphere features on the nearest brown dwarfs
Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos +10
Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass companions display rotationally modulated photometric variability, especially those near the L/T transition. This variability is commonly attributed…
Retrieving Young Cloudy L-Dwarfs: A Nearby Planetary-Mass Companion BD+60 1417B and Its Isolated Red Twin W0047
Caprice L. Phillips, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +11
We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis on a set of young, cloudy, red L-dwarfs -- CWISER J124332.12+600126.2 and WISEP J004701.06+680352.1 -- using the \textit{Brewster} retr…
Discovery of the Remarkably Red L/T Transition Object VHS J183135.58-551355.9
Thomas P. Bickle, Adam C. Schneider, Jonathan Gagné +15
We present the discovery of VHS J183135.58551355.9 (hereafter VHS J18315513), an L/T transition dwarf identified as a result of its unusually red near-infrared colors ($J-K_{…
Prioritizing High-Precision Photometric Monitoring of Exoplanet and Brown Dwarf Companions with JWST -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper
Ben J. Sutlieff, Xueqing Chen, Pengyu Liu +15
We advocate for the prioritization of high-precision photometric monitoring of exoplanet and brown dwarf companions to detect brightness variability arising from features in their…
Methane Emission From a Cool Brown Dwarf
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham, Jonathan Gagné +21
Beyond our solar system, aurorae have been inferred from radio observations of isolated brown dwarfs (e.g. Hallinan et al. 2006; Kao et al. 2023). Within our solar system, giant pl…
An Informed and Systematic Method to Identify Variable mid-L dwarfs
Natalia Oliveros-Gomez, Elena Manjavacas, Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi +3
Most brown dwarfs show some level of photometric or spectral variability. However, finding the most variable dwarfs more suited for a thorough variability monitoring campaign remai…
