The Impact of Irradiation on the Radius and Thermal Evolution of Transiting Brown Dwarfs

The Astrophysical Journal
Masses and radii of transiting brown dwarfs can be measured directly, in contrast to isolated field brown dwarfs, whose mass and radius inferences are model dependent.

Searching for GEMS: Discovery and Characterization of Two Brown Dwarfs Around M Dwarfs

The Astronomical Journal
Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between stars and planets, providing valuable insight into both planetary and stellar-formation mechanisms. Yet the census of transiting brown-dwarf companions, in particular around M-dwarf stars, remains incomplete. We report

Validation of Elemental and Isotopic Abundances in Late-M Spectral Types with the Benchmark HIP 55507 AB System

The Astrophysical Journal
M dwarfs are common host stars to exoplanets but often lack atmospheric abundance measurements. Late-M dwarfs are also good analogs to the youngest substellar companions, which share similar T _eff ∼ 2300–2800 K.

TOI-7154b: A Close-in Massive Brown Dwarf in an Eccentric Orbit

The Astronomical Journal
We report here the discovery and characterization of a high-mass transiting brown dwarf in a close-in orbit around its host star, TOI-7154. Initially, the host star was identified as an exoplanetary candidate from the TESS photometry data.

The Brown-dwarf Desert Persists as a Mass-ratio Desert around Low-mass Stars

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Sun-like stars are known to host a paucity of brown-dwarf companions at close separations. Direct imaging surveys of intermediate-mass stars have suggested that the brown-dwarf desert may be fundamentally a feature in the mass ratio. Microlensing surveys

JWST Spectral Retrieval of Cold Directly Imaged Planet WD 0806 b and the First Measurement of Altitude-dependent Kzz in Exoplanet Atmospheres

The Astronomical Journal
WD 0806 b is a rare exoplanet companion orbiting a white dwarf, currently with a projected orbital distance of 2500 au. The Spitzer mid-IR photometry suggests that the temperature is as cold as 350 K, making it one of the coldest directly imaged ...

Keck Observations in the INfrared of Taurus and ρ Oph Exoplanets And Ultracool Dwarfs (KOINTREAU) I: A Planetary-mass Companion and a Disk-obscured Stellar Companion Discovered in Taurus

The Astronomical Journal
We present the first discoveries from Keck Observations in the Infrared of Taurus and ρ Oph Exoplanets and Ultracool dwarfs (KOINTREAU), an adaptive optics imaging survey of young stars in the Taurus and ρ Oph star-forming regions using the Keck infrared

TOI-2155 b: A Massive Brown Dwarf or a Very Low-mass Star?

The Astronomical Journal
We present TOI-2155 b, a massive transiting companion, discovered using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission and confirmed with ground-based radial velocity measurements from the Tillinghast Reflector Echelle Spectrograph.

Retrieving Young Cloudy L Dwarfs: A Nearby Planetary-mass Companion BD+60 1417B and its Isolated Red Twin W0047

The Astrophysical Journal
We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis on a set of young, cloudy, red L dwarfs—CWISER J124332.12+600126.2 (BD+60 1417B) and WISEP J004701.06+680352.1 (W0047)—using the Brewster retrieval framework.
