We published a new paper!
Paper time: Redder than Red- The reddest known free-floating L/T dwarf (A. Schneider et al). We suggest β Pic membership, young age and mass <13 Jupiter masses. We also report possible IR variability based on WISE photometry. arxiv.org/abs/2301.02322 @caltechipac @backyardworlds
Go, Austin! #aas241

Graduate student Austin Rothermich presented on his upcoming paper characterizing a big new catalog of benchmark brown dwarfs. Austin started as a citizen scientist with @backyardworlds and this is the culmination of the work he started as an undergrad with me!
It's been a busy #aas241!

Another @backyardworlds presentation was given by undergraduate Hunter Brooks on discovering 124 new brown dwarf candidates with a machine learning technique (which happened to be developed by the amazing Dan Caselden)
We’re at the American Astronomical Society meeting! @jfaherty @telmahsel @dancaselden @CoolNeighbors #aas241
Our own @karmeliet64 is featured in this new discussing the search for Planet 9! In French/German. arte.tv/fr/videos/093652-000…

Congrats to citizen scientists @space_r2 @dancaselden and Melina Thevenot! Their brown dwarf discoveries will be observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. @NASAWebb @DoNASAScience
Did you know members of the public have already won time on the James Webb Space Telescope? Go @NASAWebb #citizenscience! science.nasa.gov/science-new…
Check out our new research note! It’s about a funky triple system: a white dwarf around an eclipsing binary. Congratulations, Tom!!!!
Sooo I wrote a thing iopscience.iop.org/article/1…
Yadu, Hunter, Davy, Aaron, and Fede are talking Backyard Worlds at this week’s #AAS240 American Astronomical Society meeting!
Go @telmahsel!!

You beat me to it, Arttu! Yup, check it out!!
Paper time! We present 34 low-mass comoving systems using NSC. Awesome research demonstrading the power of open-source- and citizen sciences. Congrats to awesome Frank Kiwy, whole @backyardworlds -collaboration and thanks to @NOIRLabAstro arxiv.org/abs/2204.09739
