Let the Great World Spin: Revealing the Stormy, Turbulent Nature of Young Giant Exoplanet Analogs with the Spitzer Space Telescope

Johanna M. Vos et al.

Summary: This study presents a survey on photometric variability in young, low-mass brown dwarfs using the Spitzer Space Telescope. The research finds that young brown dwarfs are highly likely to display variability across the L2-T4 spectral type range, while the field dwarf variability occurrence rate drops for spectral types >L9. Additionally, the study detects an enhancement in the variability amplitudes of young objects compared to field dwarfs.

Mapping the surface of partially cloudy exoplanets is hard

Lucas Teinturier et al.

Summary: Reflected light photometry of terrestrial exoplanets can provide information about the presence of oceans and continents, which is crucial for assessing their habitability. However, inferring the albedo map of a planet from its observed light curve is challenging due to the degeneracy caused by different surface maps and changing clouds. In this study, we propose a technique that combines disc-integrated photometry spanning multiple days to obtain a cloud-free surface map of an exoplanet. We test this approach on synthetic data and real observations of the Earth, demonstrating its effectiveness in reconstructing a low-resolution surface albedo map. However, for exoplanets with Earth-like climatology, cloud removal may be limited due to observational geometry and the characteristics of Earth clouds.

L-band Integral Field Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planetary System

David S. Doelman et al.

Summary: Understanding the physical processes shaping the appearance of young gas-giant planets is challenging due to confounding factors such as effective temperature, surface gravity, cloudiness, and chemistry. In this study, the authors present the first L-band spectroscopic observations of HR 8799 d and e, as well as low-resolution wide-bandwidth L-band spectroscopic measurements of HR 8799 c. The results are generally consistent with previous photometric observations, but some discrepancies exist. The study demonstrates that cloud models can provide good fits to the data while being consistent with evolutionary models.

Disentangling the Signatures of Blended-light Atmospheres in L/T Transition Brown Dwarfs

Afra Ashraf et al.

Summary: This study presents a technique to identify spectrophotometrically variable L7-T3 brown dwarfs using single-epoch, low-resolution, near-infrared SpeX spectra. The authors calculated spectral indices on known variable brown dwarfs and used them to select 11 index-index parameter spaces where known variables can be distinguished from the rest of the general population of brown dwarfs. They identified 62 candidate variables, 12 of which showed significant variability amplitude in independent photometric monitoring surveys. This technique will be useful for prioritizing targets for future photometric and spectroscopic monitoring.

A new method to correct for host star variability in multiepoch observations of exoplanet transmission spectra

Vatsal Panwar et al.

Summary: Transmission spectra of exoplanets orbiting active stars are influenced by stellar variability. We find that the transmission spectrum of WASP-19b varies at each epoch due to stellar variability. We introduce a new method to correct for this effect and compare the corrected spectrum with previous measurements, finding agreement. We also measure the amplitude and timescale of stellar variability of WASP-19 and find consistency with spectroscopy and photometric observations. Therefore, correcting for stellar variability is crucial before combining multiepoch optical transmission spectra of exoplanets.

Quantifying Variability of Young Stellar Objects in the Mid-infrared Over 6 Years with the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer

Wooseok Park et al.

Summary: Variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) can be caused by various time-dependent phenomena associated with star formation, including accretion rates, geometric changes in circumstellar disks, hydromagnetic interactions between stellar surfaces and inner-disk edges, reconnections within the stellar magnetosphere, and hot/cold spots on stellar surfaces. The mid-IR variability traces a wide range of dynamical, physical, and geometrical phenomenon. YSOs in earlier evolutionary stages have higher fractions of variables and higher amplitudes for the variability.

Summary: Stellar distances are essential in astrophysics, and the publication of 1.47 billion stellar parallaxes from Gaia significantly contributes to this field. Despite challenges with faint or distant stars, a probabilistic approach using a three-dimensional model of the Galaxy has been developed to estimate geometric and photogeometric distances. Photogeometric estimates generally show higher accuracy and precision compared to geometric distances, especially for stars with poor parallaxes, and are provided in a publicly available catalog.

Summary: The discovery of rapid photometric variability in three ultra-cool dwarfs with the shortest known photometric periods was presented through long-duration monitoring with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The rapid rotation was confirmed through moderate-resolution infrared spectroscopy, with equatorial rotational velocities for all three objects greater than or similar to 100 km s(-1). These L and T dwarfs are the most rapidly spinning and likely the most oblate field ultra-cool dwarfs known to date, making them excellent candidates for further study on auroral radio emission and net optical/infrared polarization.
