L and T dwarfs in the Hyades and Ursa Major moving groups

open access: yes, 2007
We have used the moving cluster method to identify three L dwarfs and one T dwarf in the Ursa Major/Sirius moving group (age 400 Myr). Five L dwarfs and two T dwarfs are found to belong to the Hyades moving group (age 625 Myr).

A Cross‐Match of 2MASS and SDSS: Newly Found L and T Dwarfs and an Estimate of the Space Density of T Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2008
We report new L and T dwarfs found in a cross-match of the SDSS Data Release 1 and 2MASS. Our simultaneous search of the two databases effectively allows us to relax the criteria for object detection in either survey and to explore the combined databases to a greater completeness level.

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.

L-dwarf Detection from SDSS Images using Improved Faster R-CNN

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present a data-driven approach to automatically detect L dwarfs from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images using an improved Faster R-CNN framework based on deep learning.

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 First Y Dwarf Data from JWST Show that Dynamic and Diabatic Processes Regulate Cold Brown Dwarf Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is now observing Y dwarfs, the coldest known brown dwarfs, with effective temperatures T _eff ≲ 475 K. The first published observations provide important information: not only is the atmospheric chemistry out of ...

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

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT SDSS 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 ...

M, L and T dwarfs in the J-PLUS Survey

open access: yes, 2017
A deep and wide sky survey such as J-PLUS will image thousands of M dwarfs, hundreds of L dwarfs, and tens of T dwarfs. M dwarfs are now ideal targets for habitable exoplanet searches, L dwarfs are a main contributor to the mass function in the solar ...
