CLOUDLESS ATMOSPHERES FOR L/T DWARFS AND EXTRASOLAR GIANT PLANETS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The admitted, conventional scenario to explain the complex spectral evolution of brown dwarfs (BDs) since their first detection 20 years ago has always been the key role played by micron-size condensates, called “dust” or “clouds,” in their atmosphere ...

A Study of the Diverse T Dwarf Population Revealed by WISE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report the discovery of 87 new T dwarfs uncovered with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and three brown dwarfs with extremely red near-infrared colors that exhibit characteristics of both L and T dwarfs.

A SURVEY FOR Hα EMISSION FROM LATE L DWARFS AND T DWARFS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recently, studies of brown dwarfs have demonstrated that they possess strong magnetic fields and have the potential to produce radio and optical auroral emissions powered by magnetospheric currents.

A Statistical Survey of Peculiar L and T Dwarfs in SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present the final results from a targeted search for brown dwarfs with unusual near-infrared colors. From a positional cross-match of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), and Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE ...

Parallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool objects III: 118 L and T dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
We present new results from the Parallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool dwarfs program to measure parallaxes, proper motions and multiepoch photometry of L and early T dwarfs.

Uniform Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs. II. Properties of 11 T dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Brown dwarf spectra are rich in information revealing of the chemical and physical processes operating in their atmospheres. We apply a recently developed atmospheric retrieval tool to an ensemble of late-T dwarf (600–800 K) near-infrared (1–2.5 μm ...

TRIGONOMETRIC PARALLAXES AND PROPER MOTIONS OF 134 SOUTHERN LATE M, L, AND T DWARFS FROM THE CARNEGIE ASTROMETRIC PLANET SEARCH PROGRAM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report trigonometric parallaxes for 134 low-mass stars and brown dwarfs, of which 38 have no previously published measurement and 79 more have improved uncertainties. Our survey focused on nearby targets, so 119 are closer than 30 pc.

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 ...

Dwarfs and Dwarf Worship [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1892
IN the slow course of post in this Protectorate I have just received copies of the Times of September 3 containing Mr. R. G. Halliburton's paper on “Dwarf Races and Dwarf Worship,” and of September 14 and 22, containing subsequent correspondence on the same subject.
