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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The discovery of an M4+T8.5 binary system
(2009)
We report the discovery of a T8.5 dwarf, which is a companion to the M4 dwarf Wolf 940. [Please see original online abstract for complete version with correct notation]
The physical properties of four ~600 K T dwarfs
(2009)
We present Spitzer 7.6-14.5 μm spectra of ULAS J003402.77–005206.7 and ULAS J133553.45+113005.2, two T9 dwarfs with the latest spectral types currently known. We fit synthetic spectra and photometry to the near- through ...
Fifteen new T dwarfs discovered in the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(2008)
We present the discovery of fifteen new T2.5-T7.5 dwarfs (with estimated distances between 24–93pc), identified in the first three main data releases of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. This brings the total number of ...
