The Classification of L Dwarfs

2001
To highlight the need for new spectral types, a brief review of the discovery of very low luminosity dwarfs — cooler than type M9.5 — is presented. The reasoning behind the choice of letters “L” and “T” is also given. Our philosophy of spectral classification is explained and we use this philosophy to construct an L dwarf typing scheme.

Very Cool L-Dwarfs

Science, 2000
ASTRONOMY Dwarfs are low mass, very cool, main-sequence stars, and recent large-scale star surveys have identified a new spectral class, called the L-dwarfs. The low estimated masses of L-dwarfs suggest that most of these objects are brown dwarfs that are rich in hydrides rather than methane. McLean et al. have obtained high-resolution spectra of six L-
