SUMMARY:Seminar: Dr. Jonathan Gagné\, Sagan Fellow at Carnegie Institution
  for Science 
DESCRIPTION:The Search for Cold and Isolated Planetary-Mass Objects  \n\n\
 nDr. Jonathan Gagné will present the motivations and current efforts to i
 dentify and characterize planetary-mass objects that are isolated in spac
 e. Such objects\, with masses that span the deuterium burning limit\, can
  inform us on the physical properties\, evolution and atmospheres of gian
 t\, gaseous exoplanets detected by direct imaging. The absence of a brigh
 t host star makes it much easier to study these isolated objects with hig
 h-resolution spectroscopy.   \n\n\nDr. Gagné will discuss the current sta
 tus of the BANYAN All-Sky-Ultracool (BASS-Ultracool) survey\, which aims 
 to discover young and planetary-mass methane T dwarfs in the solar neighb
 orhood. Only a few objects of this kind are currently known\, and they ha
 ve the potential to inform us on the physical processes that drive the tr
 ansition from cloudy to cloud-free atmospheres through a study of cold\, 
 isolated objects of different ages.
