    • Identifying ultra-cool dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes : a southern candidate catalogue 

      Folkes, S. L.; Pinfield, D.J.; Jones, H.R.A.; Kurtev, R.; Zhang, Z.; Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Marocco, F.; Day-Jones, A. C.; Clarke, J. R. A. (2012-12)
      We present an ultra-cool dwarf (UCD) catalogue compiled from low southern Galactic latitudes and mid-plane, from a cross-correlation of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and the SuperCOSMOS survey. The catalogue contains ...

    • Low-mass Objects in Moving Groups 

      Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Pinfield, D.J.; Folkes, S. L.; Jenkins, J. S.; Perez, A. E. Garcia; Burningham, B.; Day-Jones, A. C.; Jones, H.R.A. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2010)
      We present here the kinematic study of part of a 132 target sample of low-mass objects, previously selected by photometric and astrometric criteria as possible members to five young moving groups (MGs): Local Association ...

    • New Galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey 

      Borissova, J.; Bonatto, C.; Kurtev, R.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Penaloza, F.; Sale, S. E.; Minniti, D.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Artigau, E.; Barba, R.; Bica, E.; Baume, G. L.; Catelan, M.; Chene, A.

K.; Tamura, M.; Toledo, I. (2011-08)
      Context. VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys operating on the new 4-m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). VVV is scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent ...

    • Spectroscopic signatures of youth in low-mass kinematic candidates of young moving groups 

      Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Kuznetsov, M.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Pavlenko, Ya. V.; Folkes, S. L.; Pinfield, David; Jones, Hugh; Jenkins, J. S.; Barnes, John; Burmingham, B.; Day-Jones, A. C.; Martin, E. L.; Garcia Perez, A. E.; del Burgo, C.; Pokorny, R. S. (2014-04-21)
      We present a study of age-related spectral signatures observed in 25 young low-mass objects that we have previously determined as possible kinematic members of five young moving groups: the Local Association (Pleiades ...

    • Spectroscopy and kinematics of low-mass members of young moving groups 

      Galvez-Ortiz, M. C.; Clarke, J.R.A.; Pinfield, D.J.; Jenkins, J. S.; Folkes, S. L.; Garcia Perez, A. E.; Day-Jones, A.C.; Burningham, B.; Jones, H.R.A.; Barnes, J. R.; Pokorny, R.S. (2010)
      We study a target sample of 68 low-mass objects (with spectral types in the range M4.5–L1) previously selected via photometric and astrometric criteria, as possible members of five young moving groups: the Local Association ...

    • The sub-stellar birth rate from UKIDSS

      We present a new sample of mid-L to mid-T dwarfs with effective temperatures of 11001700 K selected from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS) and confirmed with infrared spectra from X-shooter/Very Large Telescope. This ...

    • VVV High proper motion stars I. The catalogue of bright Ks stars 

      Kurtev, R.; Gromadzki, M.; Beamin, J. C.; Folkes, S. L.; Ramirez, K. Pena; Ivanov, V. D.; Borissova, J.; Villanueva, V.; Minniti, D.; Mendez, R.; Lucas, P. W.; Smith, L. C.; Pinfield, D. J.; Kuhn, M. A.; Jones, H. R. A.; Antonova, A.; Yip, A. K. P. (2017-01-01)
      Knowledge of the stellar content near the Sun is important for a broad range of topics ranging from the search for planets to the study of Milky Way structure. The most powerful method for identifying potentially nearby ...
