Published purpose

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data. Spectral variability of brown dwarfs holds the key to understanding their atmospheric properties. This project aims to determine the mechanism that produces brown dwarf variability and determine what drives the variability (evolving clouds, dynamical chemistry, both?).
