SpeX Spectroscopy of Unresolved Very Low-Mass Binaries. I. Identification of Seventeen Candidate Binaries Straddling the L Dwarf/T Dwarf Transition [PDF]
We report the identification of 17 candidate brown dwarf binaries whose components straddle the L dwarf/T dwarf transition. These sources were culled from a large near-infrared spectral sample of L and T dwarfs observed with the Infrared Telescope ...

37 NEW T-TYPE BROWN DWARFS IN THE CANADA-FRANCE BROWN DWARFS SURVEY [PDF]
The Canada-France Brown Dwarfs Survey is an i'- and z'-band survey realized with MegaCam at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope that covers a surface area of 780 deg2. Image analysis is now completed while J-band follow-up campaigns are ~90% done. The survey identified about 70 T dwarf candidates, of which 43 now have near-infrared spectra obtained with

Listening to Hong Kong children's perspectives through pretend play
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has become an increasing concern in recent years. The issue has been regularly discussed by different stakeholders. However, the rising concern regarding quality in ECEC has not seriously taken into account children's perspectives.

We present JWST/Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) low-resolution spectroscopy (4.75–14 μ m) of the first known substellar companion, Gliese 229Bab, which was recently resolved into a tight binary brown dwarf.

CARMA interferometric observations of 2MASS J044427+2512: the first spatially resolved observations of thermal emission of a brown dwarf disk [PDF]
We present CARMA 1.3 mm continuum data of the disk surrounding the young brown dwarf 2MASS J044427+2512 in the Taurus molecular cloud. The high angular resolution of the CARMA observations (0.16 arcsec) allows us to spatially resolve for the first time ...

Widening participation in outward student mobility: Successes, challenges and opportunities
Abstract This article utilises data obtained through evaluation processes at Northumbria University to contribute to the emerging discourse on widening participation and outward student mobility. The rationale behind the study stems from the significant financial and non‐financial benefits associated with higher education and the UK's ongoing efforts ...

Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf
Recent atmospheric models for brown dwarfs suggest that the existence of clouds in substellar objects is not needed to reproduce their spectra, nor their rotationally induced photometric variability, believed to be due to the heterogeneous cloud coverage

Ultracool Field Brown Dwarf Candidates Selected at 4.5 microns [PDF]
We have identified a sample of cool field brown dwarf candidates using IRAC data from the Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS). The candidates were selected from 400,000 SDWFS sources with [4.5] = 1.5 and [4.5] - [8.0]

The Search for Brown Dwarfs around White Dwarfs [PDF]
The infrared search for substellar companions to nearby white dwarfs has been going on for a little more than a decade. The most recent phase has been a wide field proper motion search carried out primarily at Steward Observatory, where we are complete down to J = 18. Earlier phases included near field searches at the IRTF and Keck Observatory.
