Ultracool dwarfs in Gaia DR3
(2023-01-26)
Context. Previous Gaia data releases offered the opportunity to uncover ultracool dwarfs (UCDs) through astrometric, rather than purely photometric, selection. The most recent, the third data release (DR3), offers in ...
The Gaia Ultra-Cool Dwarf Sample -- II : Structure at the end of the main sequence
(2019-05-01)
We identify and investigate known late M, L, and T dwarfs in the Gaia second data release. This sample is being used as a training set in the Gaia data processing chain of the ultracool dwarfs work package. We find 695 ...
Ultracool dwarf benchmarks with \emph{Gaia} primaries
(2017-10-01)
We explore the potential of \emph{Gaia} for the field of benchmark ultracool/brown dwarf companions, and present the results of an initial search for metal-rich/metal-poor systems. A simulated population of resolved ultracool ...
The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample. I. Known L and T dwarfs and the first Gaia data release
(2017-07-01)
We identify and investigate known ultracool stars and brown dwarfs that are being observed or indirectly constrained by the Gaia mission. These objects will be the core of the Gaia ultracool dwarf sample composed of all ...
Low-resolution near-infrared spectroscopic signatures of unresolved ultracool companions to M dwarfs
(2017-06-01)
We develop a method to identify the spectroscopic signature of unresolved L-dwarf ultracool companions, which compares the spectra of candidates and their associated control stars using spectral ratio differences and ...
Parallaxes and Infrared Photometry of three Y0 dwarfs
(2017-03-24)
We have followed up the three Y0 dwarfs WISEPA J041022.71+150248.5, WISEPA J173835.53+273258.9 and WISEPC J205628.90+145953.3 using the UKIRT/WFCAM telescope/instruments. We find parallaxes that are more consistent and ...
