    • A deep WISE search for very late type objects and the discovery of two halo/thick-disc T dwarfs : WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052 

      Pinfield, D.J.; Gomes, J.; Day-Jones, A. C.; Leggett, S.K.; Gromadzki, M.; Burningham, B.; Ruiz, M. T.; Kurtev, R.; Cattermole, T.; Cardoso, C.; Lodieu, N.; Faherty, J.; Littlefair, S.; Smart, R.; Irwin, M.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Smith, Leigh; Lucas, P.W.; Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Jenkins, J. S.; Jones, H.R.A.; Rebolo, R.; Bejar, V. J. S.; Gauza, B. (2014-01-11)
      A method is defined for identifying late-T and Y dwarfs in WISE down to low values of signal-to-noise. This requires a WISE detection only in the W2-band and uses the statistical properties of the WISE multiframe measurements ...

    • Discovery of a brown dwarf companion to the A3V star β Circini 

      Smith, Leigh; Lucas, P.W.; Peña, C. Contreras; Kurtev, R.; Marocco, Federico; Jones, H.R.A.; Beamin, J.C.; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Borissova, J.; Burningham, B.; Faherty, J.; Pinfield, D.J.; Gromadzki, M.; Ivanov, V.D.; Minniti, D.; Stimson, W.; Villanueva, V. (2015-12-21)
      We report the discovery of an L dwarf companion to the A3V star β Circini. VVV J151721.49−585131.5, or β Cir B, was identified in a proper motion and parallax catalogue of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey as ...

    • High proper motion objects from the UKIDSS Galactic plane survey 

      Smith, Leigh; Lucas, P.W.; Bunce, R.; Burningham, B.; Jones, H.R.A.; Smart, R.L.; Skrzypek, N.; Rodriguez, D. R.; Faherty, J.; Barentsen, G.; Drew, J.E.; Andrei, A.H.; Catalán, S.; Pinfield, D.J.; Redburn, D. (2014-09-21)
      The UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) began in 2005 as a seven year effort to survey ~1800 deg2 of the northern Galactic plane in the J, H, and K passbands. The survey included a second epoch of K-band data, with a baseline ...
