    • Discovery of a T dwarf + white dwarf binary system 

      Day-Jones, Avril; Pinfield, D.J.; Ruiz, M.; Beaumont, H.; Burningham, B.; Gallardo, J.; Gianninas, A.; Bergeron, P.; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Jenkins, J.S.; Zhang, Z.H.; Murray, D.N.; Catalan, Silvia; Ines Gomes, Joana (2011)
      We present the discovery of the first T dwarf + white dwarf binary system LSPM 1459+0857 AB, confirmed through common proper motion and spectroscopy. The white dwarf is a high proper motion object from the LSPM catalogue ...

    • Discovery of the first white dwarf + T dwarf binary system and the use of white dwarfs as age calibrators 

      Day-Jones, Avril; Pinfield, D.J.; Ruiz, M.; Beaumont, H.; Gallardo, J.; Gianninas, A.; Bergeron, P.; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Jenkins, J.S.; Burningham, B.; Zhang, Z.H.; Jones, H.R.A.; Murray, D.; Catalan, Silvia; Ines Gomes, Joana (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
      We present the discovery of the first white dwarf + T dwarf binary system. Systems containing a white dwarf and a brown dwarf are rare but can be used to place constraints on the age of the binary, making them valuable ...
