    • Retrieval of atmospheric properties of cloudy L dwarfs 

      Burningham, Ben; Marley, Mark S.; Line, Michael R.; Lupu, Roxana; Visscher, Channon; Morley, Caroline V.; Saumon, Didier; Freedman, Richard (2017-09-01)
      We present the first results from applying the spectral inversion technique in the cloudy L dwarf regime. Our new framework provides a flexible approach to modelling cloud opacity which can be built incrementally as the ...

    • Uniform Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs I : Characterizing Benchmarks, Gl570D and HD3651B 

      Line, Michael R.; Teske, Johanna; Burningham, Ben; Fortney, Jonathan; Marley, Mark (2015-07-10)
      Interpreting the spectra of brown dwarfs is key to determining the fundamental physical and chemical processes occurring in their atmospheres. Powerful Bayesian atmospheric retrieval tools have recently been applied to ...

    • Uniform Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs II : Properties of 11 T-dwarfs 

      Line, Michael R.; Marley, Mark S.; Liu, Michael C.; Burningham, Ben; Morley, Caroline V.; Hinkel, Natalie R.; Teske, Johanna; Fortney, Jonathan J.; Lupu, Roxana; Freedman, Richard (2017-10-20)
      Brown dwarf spectra are rich in information revealing of the chemical and physical processes operating in their atmospheres. We apply a recently developed atmospheric retrieval tool to an ensemble of late T-dwarf (600-800K) ...
