Discovery of a new Y dwarf: WISE J030449.03-270508.3
(2014-10-21)
We present a new Y dwarf, WISE J030449.03−270508.3, confirmed from a candidate sample designed to pick out low-temperature objects from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data base. The new object is typed Y0pec ...
Parallaxes of Five L Dwarfs with a Robotic Telescope
(2014-01-01)
We report the parallax and proper motion of five L dwarfs obtained with observations from the robotic Liverpool Telescope. Our derived proper motions are consistent with published values and have considerably smaller errors. ...
Parallaxes of southern extremely cool objects (PARSEC). II : Spectroscopic follow-up and parallaxes of 52 targets
(2013-12)
We present near-infrared spectroscopy for 52 ultracool dwarfs, including two newly discovered late-M dwarfs, one new late-M subdwarf candidate, three new L, and four new T dwarfs. We also present parallaxes and proper ...
A spectroscopic and proper motion search of Sloan Digital Sky Survey : red subdwarfs in binary systems
(2013-09)
Red subdwarfs in binary systems are crucial for both model calibration and spectral classification. We search for red subdwarfs in binary systems from a sample of high proper motion objects with Sloan Digital Sky Survey ...
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 ...
Identifying ultra-cool dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes : a southern candidate catalogue
(2012-12)
We present an ultra-cool dwarf (UCD) catalogue compiled from low southern Galactic latitudes and mid-plane, from a cross-correlation of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and the SuperCOSMOS survey. The catalogue contains ...
