The first planet detected in the WTS : an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]
(2014-11-11)
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in August 2007. Light curves comprising ...
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 ...
The extremely red L dwarf ULAS J222711-004547-dominated by dust
(2014-03)
We report the discovery of a peculiar L dwarf from the United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky Survey Large Area Survey, ULAS J222711-004547. The very red infrared photometry (MKO J-K = 2.79 +/- 0.06, WISEW1-W2 = 0.65 +/- 0.05) ...
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. ...
