An irradiated brown-dwarf companion to an accreting white dwarf [PDF]
Brown dwarfs and giant planets orbiting close to a host star are subjected to significant irradiation that can modify the properties of their atmospheres. In order to test the atmospheric models that are used to describe these systems, it is necessary to obtain accurate observational estimates of their physical properties (masses, radii, temperatures ...

WEATHER ON OTHER WORLDS. III. A SURVEY FOR T DWARFS WITH HIGH-AMPLITUDE OPTICAL VARIABILITY [PDF]
We have monitored 12 T dwarfs with the Kitt Peak 2.1 m telescope using an F814W filter (0.7–0.95 μm) to place in context the remarkable 10%–20% variability exhibited by the nearby T dwarf Luhman 16B in this wavelength regime.

L and T dwarfs in the Hyades and Ursa Major moving groups [PDF]
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). These L and T dwarfs define 400- and 625- Myr empirical isochrones, assuming that they have the same age.

CONSTRAINTS ON THE BINARY PROPERTIES OF MID- TO LATE T DWARFS FROM HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE WFC3 OBSERVATIONS [PDF]
We used Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) observations of a sample of 26 nearby (⩽20 pc) mid- to late T dwarfs to search for cooler companions and measure the multiplicity statistics of brown dwarfs (BDs).

The brown dwarf atmosphere monitoring (BAM) project - I. The largest near-IR monitoring survey of L and T dwarfs [PDF]
Using SofI on the 3.5m New Technology Telescope, we have conducted an extensive near-infrared monitoring survey of an unbiased sample of 69 brown dwarfs spanning the L0 and T8 spectral range, with at least one example of each spectral type.

Structurally Defined Water‐Soluble Metallofullerene Derivatives towards Biomedical Applications
A modular metallobuckytrio (MBT) platform provides a family of structurally defined, water‐soluble metallofullerene derivatives that can safely carry rare‐earth elements in tailorable molecules, showing promise in biomedicines including MRI contrast agents and photosensitizers. Abstract Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are excellent carriers of rare‐
