On the cool side: modeling the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and giant planets
MS Marley, TD Robinson - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
The atmosphere of a brown dwarf or extrasolar giant planet controls the spectrum of
radiation emitted by the object and regulates its cooling over time. Although the study of …

The JWST Early-release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems II: a 1 to 20 μm spectrum of the planetary-mass companion VHS 1256 …
We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is
a< 20 M Jup widely separated (∼ 8'', a= 150 au), young, planetary-mass companion that …

Clouds and hazes in exoplanet atmospheres
Clouds and hazes are commonplace in the atmospheres of solar system planets and are
likely ubiquitous in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets as well. Clouds affect every aspect …

A new set of atmosphere and evolution models for cool T–Y brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets
We present a new set of solar metallicity atmosphere and evolutionary models for very cool
brown dwarfs and self-luminous giant exoplanets, which we term ATMO 2020. Atmosphere …

Aerosol composition of hot giant exoplanets dominated by silicates and hydrocarbon hazes
Aerosols are common in the atmospheres of exoplanets across a wide swath of
temperatures, masses and ages,–. These aerosols strongly impact observations of …

Constraining the Nature of the PDS 70 Protoplanets with VLTI/GRAVITY∗
We present K-band interferometric observations of the PDS 70 protoplanets along with their
host star using VLTI/GRAVITY. We obtained K-band spectra and 100 μas precision …
