The First Mid-Infrared Spectra of Cool White Dwarfs
We present the first mid-infrared spectra of two cool white dwarfs obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We also present 3:5Y8 m photometry for 19 cool white dwarfs with 5000 K TeA 9000 K. We perform a detailed model atmosphere analysis of these white dwarfs by fitting their UBVRIJHK and Spitzer photometry with state-ofthe-art model atmospheres, and demonstrate that the optical and infrare...
متن کاملTHE NIRSPEC BROWN DWARF SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY II: HIGH-RESOLUTION J-BAND SPECTRA OF M, L and T DWARFS
We present a sequence of high resolution (R∼20,000 or 15 km s) infrared spectra of stars and brown dwarfs spanning spectral types M2.5 to T6. Observations of 16 objects were obtained using eight echelle orders to cover part of the J-band from 1.165-1.323 μm with NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. By comparing opacity plots and line lists, over 200 weak features in the J-band are identified with ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Spitzer Mid Infrared Spectra of Irradiated Planets: Evidence for Water Vapor?
Published mid infrared spectra of transiting planets HD 209458b and HD 189733b, obtained during secondary eclipse by the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, are predominantly featureless. In particular these flux ratio spectra do not exhibit an expected feature arising from water vapor absorption short-ward of 10μm. Here we suggest that the spectral data for HD 18973...
متن کاملObservations of M , L , and T Dwarfs
We present the first mid-infrared spectra of brown dwarfs, together with observations of a low-mass star. Our targets are the M3.5 dwarf GJ 1001A, the L8 dwarf DENIS-P J0255−4700, and the T1/T6 binary system ǫ Indi Ba/Bb. As expected, the mid-infrared spectral morphology of these objects changes rapidly with spectral class due to the changes in atmospheric chemistry resulting from their differi...

We explore the spectral and atmospheric properties of brown dwarfs cooler than the latest known T dwarfs. Our focus is on the yet-to-be-discovered free-floating brown dwarfs in the Teff range from ∼800 K to ∼130 K and with masses from 25 to 1 MJ . This study is in anticipation of the new characterization capabilities enabled by the launch of SIRTF and the eventual launch of JWST. In addition, i...
