Unveiling the Infrared Excess of SIPS J2045-6332: Evidence for a Young Stellar Object with Potential Low-Mass Companion
Michiharu Hyogo, Thomas P. Bickle, Joseph R. Biggs +20
The Disk Detective project, a citizen science initiative, aims to identify circumstellar discs around stars by detecting objects with infrared (IR) excess using data from the Wide-…
New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…
CWISE J105512.11+544328.3: A Nearby Y Dwarf Spectroscopically Confirmed with Keck/NIRES
Grady Robbins, Aaron M. Meisner, Adam C. Schneider +17
Y dwarfs, the coolest known spectral class of brown dwarfs, overlap in mass and temperature with giant exoplanets, providing unique laboratories for studying low-temperature atmosp…
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…
wdwarfdate: A Python Package to Derive Bayesian Ages of White Dwarfs
Rocio Kiman, Siyi Xu, Jacqueline K. Faherty +5
White dwarfs have been successfully used as cosmochronometers in the literature, however their reach has been limited in comparison to their potential. We present wdwarfdate, a pub…
CWISE J014611.20-050850.0AB: The Widest Known Brown Dwarf Binary in the Field
Emma Softich, Adam C. Schneider, Jennifer Patience +19
While stars are often found in binary systems, brown dwarf binaries are much rarer. Brown dwarf--brown dwarf pairs are typically difficult to resolve because they often have very s…
Discovery of 16 New Members of the Solar Neighborhood using Proper Motions from CatWISE2020
Tarun Kota, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Dan Caselden +17
In an effort to identify nearby and unusual cold objects in the solar neighborhood, we searched for previously unidentified moving objects using CatWISE2020 proper motion data comb…
A Wide Planetary Mass Companion Discovered Through the Citizen Science Project Backyard Worlds: Planet 9
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Jonathan Gagne, Mark Popinchalk +24
Through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project we discovered a late-type L dwarf co-moving with the young K0 star BD+60 1417 at a projected separation of 37" or 1662…
TOI-1278 B: SPIRou unveils a rare Brown Dwarf Companion in Close-In Orbit around an M dwarf
Étienne Artigau, Guillaume Hébrard, Charles Cadieux +39
We present the discovery of an M brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS…
New Parallaxes for the Upper Scorpius OB Association
Jessica Donaldson, Alycia Weinberger, Jonathan Gagné +2
Upper Scorpius is a subgroup of the nearest OB association, Scorpius--Centaurus. Its young age makes it an important association to study star and planet formation. We present para…
