76 T dwarfs from the UKIDSS LAS : benchmarks, kinematics and an updated space density
(2013-07)
We report the discovery of 76 new T dwarfs from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS). Near-infrared broad- and narrow-band photometry and spectroscopy are presented for the new objects, along ...
The sub-stellar birth rate from UKIDSS
(2013-04)
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 ...
A 2 epoch proper motion catalogue from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS) began in 2005, with the start of the UKIDSS program as a 7 year effort to survey roughly 4000 square degrees at high galactic latitudes in Y, J, H and K bands. The survey also included a ...
Measuring ultracool properties from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
We discuss the properties and of ultracool and brown dwarfs that can be measured from current large area surveys and how fundamental parameters, such as the mass function and formation history can be measured, describing ...
The Properties of the 500 K Dwarf UGPS J072227.51-054031.2, and a Study of the Far-Red Flux of Cold Brown Dwarfs
(2012-04-01)
We present i and z photometry for 25 T dwarfs and one L dwarf. Combined with published photometry, the data show that the i - z, z - Y and z - J colors of T dwarfs are very red, and continue to increase through to the ...
Discovery of the benchmark metal poor T8 dwarf BD+01 2920B
(2012)
We have searched the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer first data release for widely separated (<=10,000AU) late T dwarf companions to Hipparcos and Gliese stars. We have discovered a new binary system containing a K-band ...
The properties of the T8.5p dwarf Ross 458C
(2011-07)
We present near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy, and warm-Spitzer IRAC photometry of the young very cool T dwarf Ross 458C, which we have typed as T8.5p. By applying the fiducial age constraints (<= 1 Gyr) imposed by ...
Blue not brown: UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey T dwarfs with suppressed K-band flux
(2011-06)
We have used blue near-infrared colours to select a group of 12 spectroscopically confirmed United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) T dwarfs later than T4. From amongst these, we identify ...
The discovery of the T8.5 dwarf UGPS J0521+3640
(2011-06)
We have carried out a search for late-type T dwarfs in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Galactic Plane Survey 6th Data Release. The search yielded two persuasive candidates, both of which have been confirmed as T dwarfs. ...
47 new T dwarfs from the UKIDDS large area survey
(2010)
We report the discovery of 47 new T dwarfs in the Fourth Data Release (DR4) from the Large Area Survey (LAS) of the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey with spectral types ranging from T0 to ...
