Article Synopsis
  • Brown dwarf companions to stars help us understand planet formation processes, but some of them are more massive than expected based on their luminosities and host star ages.
  • Gliese 229 B, previously thought to be a single entity, was revealed through observations to actually be two brown dwarfs, Gliese 229 Ba and Bb, with masses of 38.1 and 34.4 Jupiter masses, respectively.
  • This discovery challenges existing theories and raises questions about the formation and occurrence of binary brown dwarfs in close orbits around stars.

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the bicep2/Keck CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2015 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and additional observations at 95 and 150 GHz. The Q and U maps reach depths of 5.

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2 and Keck Array cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments up to and including the 2014 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 95 GHz. The maps reach a depth of 50 nK deg in Stokes Q and U in the 150 GHz band and 127 nK deg in the 95 GHz band.
