JWST program GO-2124 finds methane emission in a cold brown dwarf, indicative of a surpisingly large temperature inversion in this isolated object

The paper is published in Nature here , and you can check out some of the press here

I’ve been collaborating with the GO 2124 “Diversity of Cold Worlds” team to help interpret their JWST G395H spectra of 12 late T and Y dwarfs.
