The 2MASS Wide-Field T Dwarf Search. IV. Hunting Out T Dwarfs with Methane Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2005
We present first results from a major program of methane filter photometry for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. The definition of a new methane filter photometric system is described. A recipe is provided for the differential calibration of methane imaging data using existing 2MASS photometry.

Dwarf Archives: A Compendium of M, L, and T Dwarf Data [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
Dwarf Archives is an online archive containing astrometric, photometric, and spectroscopic information for all known L and T dwarfs (over 650 objects), as well as a select sample of over 500 M dwarfs. In this paper, we describe the specific data available in the archive, the interface for searching through it and discuss plans for future updates.

Informed Systematic Method to identify mid and late-T dwarfs

open access: yes, 2022
We designed and tested near-infrared spectral indices to pre-select the most likely variable midand late-T dwarfs, which overlap in effective temperatures with directly-imaged exoplanets.

Young T-dwarf candidates in IC 348 [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2009
The determination of the lower-end of the initial mass function (IMF) provides strong constraints on star formation theories. We report here on a search for isolated planetary-mass objects in the 3 Myr-old star-forming region IC 348. Deep, narrowband CH4off and CH4on images were obtained with CFHT/WIRCam over 0.11 sq.deg.

ULAS J141623.94+134836.3: A BLUE T DWARF COMPANION TO A BLUE L DWARF [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2010
We confirm the substellar nature of ULAS J141623.94+134836.3, a common proper motion companion to the blue L dwarf SDSS J141624.08+134826.7 identified by Burningham et al. and Scholz. Low-resolution 0.8-2.4 micron spectroscopy obtained with IRTF/SpeX shows strong H2O and CH4 absorption bands, consistent with a T7.5 spectral type, and we see possible ...

THE ORBIT OF THE L DWARF + T DWARF SPECTRAL BINARY SDSS J080531.84+481233.0* [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT SDSSĀ J080531.84+481233.0 is a closely separated, very-low-mass (VLM) binary identified through combined-light spectroscopy and confirmed as an astrometric variable. Here we report four years of radial velocity monitoring observations of the system that reveal significant and periodic variability, confirming the binary nature of ...
