Weather on Other Worlds IV: In-Depth Study of Photometric Variability and Radiative Timescales for Atmospheric Evolution in Four L Dwarfs

Weather on Other Worlds IV: In-Depth Study of Photometric Variability and Radiative Timescales for Atmospheric Evolution in Four L Dwarfs

Rotational phase mapping of brown dwarfs allows exploration of different cloud and photospheric properties within the same atmospheres, allowing a separation of these parameters from global parameters, such as composition, surface gravity, and age. This work presents an in-depth characterization of...
