The discovery of a very cool binary system
(2010)
We report the discovery of a very cool d/sdL7+T7.5p common proper motion binary system, SDSS J1416+13AB, found by cross-matching the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area ...
Spectroscopy and kinematics of low-mass members of young moving groups
(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 discovery of a very cool, very nearby brown dwarf in the Galactic plane
(2010)
We report the discovery of a very cool, isolated brown dwarf, UGPS 0722−05, with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Plane Survey. The near-infrared spectrum displays deeper H2O and CH4 ...
The distance to the cool T9 brown dwarf ULAS J003402.77-005206.7
(2010)
Aims. We demonstrate the feasibility of determining parallaxes for nearby objects with the Wide Field Camera on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) using the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey as a first epoch. We ...
Parallaxes and physical properties of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs
(2010)
Aims. We present parallaxes of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs observed in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. We use these results to test the reliability of model predictions in magnitude–color space, determine a magnitude-spectral ...
Mid-infrared photometry of cold brown dwarfs : diversity in age, mass and metallicity
(2010)
We present new Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) photometry of 12 very late-type T dwarfs: nine have [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0] photometry and three have [3.6] and [4.5] photometry only. Combining this with previously ...
Discovery of the first L dwarf plus giant binary system and eight other ultracool dwarfs in wide binaries
(2010)
We identify 806 ultracool dwarfs (of which 34 are newly discovered L dwarfs) from their Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) riz photometry and obtain proper motions through cross-matching with the United Kingdom Infrared ...
