New protoplanet(s?) alert! I'm happy to share this LBTI image of WISPIT 2 from our team's paper led by Laird Close. Planet b was discovered at Hα with MagAO-X following the SPHERE disk discovery (R. van Capelleveen +), and CC1 might be a candidate 2nd (enshrouded?) protoplanet #exoplanets ☄️🔭🧪

There's this analytical result from the 2nd Ed. Of Stellar Interiors by Hansen, Kawaler, and Trimble, Ch. 9 (plus an aside on the implications for life on Earth!)

We also fit atmospheric models to photometry of HII 1348B and infer the possible formation channels and dynamical interactions for this triple system.

A big thanks to Kevin Wagner and co-authors (incl. @danielapai.bsky.social, @jarron.bsky.social +others not on Bluesky) for making this possible!

There are very few known substellar companions in the Pleiades, and we use the very strong detection of HII 1348B (SNR > 150) to perform precise relative astronomy and provide the first model of the companion's orbit.

I'm very excited to share that my first (and first-author) publication is up on the arXiv today!

arxiv.org/abs/2501.16429

We studied a circumbinary brown dwarf companion in the Pleiades with direct imaging taken using both apertures of the Large Bincocular Telescope.
