A deep WISE search for very late type objects and the discovery of two halo/thick-disc T dwarfs : WISE 0013+0634 and WISE 0833+0052
(2014-01-11)
A method is defined for identifying late-T and Y dwarfs in WISE down to low values of signal-to-noise. This requires a WISE detection only in the W2-band and uses the statistical properties of the WISE multiframe measurements ...
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 brightest pure-H ultracool white dwarf
(2012-10)
We report the identification of LSR J0745+2627 in the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS) as a cool white dwarf with kinematics and age compatible with the thick-disk/halo ...
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 ...
