Latitude-dependent Atmospheric Waves and Long-period Modulations in Luhman 16 B from the Longest Light Curve of an Extrasolar World

Latitude-dependent Atmospheric Waves and Long-period Modulations in Luhman 16 B from the Longest Light Curve of an Extrasolar World

In this work, we present the longest photometric monitoring of up to 1200 hr of the strongly variable brown dwarf binaries Luhman 16 AB and provide evidence of ±5% variability on a timescale of several to hundreds of hours for this object. We show that short-period rotational modulation around 5 hr...
