Global Weather Map Reveals Persistent Top-of-atmosphere Features On The Nearest Brown Dwarfs

Brown dwarfs and planetary-mass companions display rotationally modulated photometric variability, especially those near the L/T transition. This variability is commonly attributed to top-of-atmosphere (TOA) inhomogeneities, with proposed models including patchy […]
