Aides to embattled Chicago Police Supt. David Brown have begun preparing a “legacy document” of his accomplishments and goals, apparently laying the groundwork for his exit, a source told the Sun-Times.
Aides to embattled Chicago Police Supt. David Brown have begun preparing a "legacy document" of his accomplishments and goals, apparently laying the groundwork for his exit, a source told the Sun-Times.
Even if Lightfoot wins a second term and allows Brown to keep his job, he could be just months away from being forced out anyway. Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan will be leaving the Chicago Police Department, sources said Wednesday. A police spokesperson acknowledged the document is being compiled but insisted the department "regularly sets public safety priorities as we work to strengthen safety across the city.
All eight mayoral challengers have accused Brown of losing the faith of demoralized and overworked rank-and-file officers who are retiring faster than replacements can be hired. Brown also drew fire for ousting his head of reform, Robert Boik, after Boik wrote an email warning that transferring officers from the Office of Constitutional Policing to patrol would make it impossible to meet the training requirements in a federal consent decree governing police reform.

First Observations of the Brown Dwarf HD 19467 B with JWSTWe observed HD 19467 B with JWST's NIRCam in six filters spanning 2.5-4.6 $μm$ with the Long Wavelength Bar coronagraph. The brown dwarf HD 19467 B was initially identified through a long-period trend in the radial velocity of G3V star HD 19467. HD 19467 B was subsequently detected via coronagraphic imaging and spectroscopy, and characterized as a late-T type brown dwarf with approximate temperature $\sim1000$K. We observed HD 19467 B as a part of the NIRCam GTO science program, demonstrating the first use of the NIRCam Long Wavelength Bar coronagraphic mask. The object was detected in all 6 filters (contrast levels of $2\times10^{-4}$ to $2\times10^{-5}$) at a separation of 1.6 arcsec using Angular Differential Imaging (ADI) and Synthetic Reference Differential Imaging (SynRDI). Due to a guidestar failure during acquisition of a pre-selected reference star, no reference star data was available for post-processing. However, RDI was successfully applied using synthetic Point Spread Functions (PSFs) developed from contemporaneous maps of the telescope's optical configuration. Additional radial velocity data (from Keck/HIRES) are used to constrain the orbit of HD 19467 B. Photometric data from TESS are used to constrain the properties of the host star, particularly its age. NIRCam photometry, spectra and photometry from literature, and improved stellar parameters are used in conjunction with recent spectral and evolutionary substellar models to derive physical properties for HD 19467 B. Using an age of 9.4$\pm$0.9 Gyr inferred from spectroscopy, Gaia astrometry, and TESS asteroseismology, we obtain a model-derived mass of 62$\pm 1M_{J}$, which is consistent within 2-$σ$ with the dynamically derived mass of 81$^{+14}_{-12}M_{J}$.
