The Y-type brown dwarfs: estimates of mass and age from new astrometry, homogenized photometry, and near-infrared spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceThe survey of the mid-infrared sky by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) led to the discovery of Twenty-four Y dwarfs are known at the time of writing.

A Review on Substellar Objects below the Deuterium Burning Mass Limit: Planets, Brown Dwarfs or What?

open access: yes, 2018
“Free-floating, non-deuterium-burning, substellar objects” are isolated bodies of a few Jupiter masses found in very young open clusters and associations, nearby young moving groups, and in the immediate vicinity of the Sun. They are neither brown dwarfs

Intermediate Resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of 36 late-M Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present observations of 36 late-M dwarfs obtained with the KeckII/NIRSPEC in the J-band at a resolution of ∼20,000. We have measured projected rotational velocities, absolute radial velocities, and pseudo-equivalent widths of atomic lines.

UNCOVER: JWST Spectroscopy of Three Cold Brown Dwarfs at Kiloparsec-scale Distances

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report JWST/NIRSpec spectra of three distant T-type brown dwarfs identified in the Ultradeep NIRSpec and NIRCam ObserVations before the Epoch of Reionization (UNCOVER) survey of the Abell 2744 lensing field.

NEAR-INFRARED IMAGING OF WHITE DWARFS WITH CANDIDATE DEBRIS DISKS

open access: yes, 2014
We have carried out JHK(s) imaging of 12 white dwarf debris disk candidates from the WIRED Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 catalog, aiming to confirm or rule out disks among these sources.

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 ...

Pulsating White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
. Few variable White Dwarfs and nuclei of Planetary Nebulae are known, whose pulsational properties may be used to check the reliability of stellar evolution theory.

Protosolar D-to-H Abundance and One Part per Billion PH3 in the Coldest Brown Dwarf

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The coldest Y spectral type brown dwarfs are similar in mass and temperature to cool and warm (∼200–400 K) giant exoplanets. We can therefore use their atmospheres as proxies for planetary atmospheres, testing our understanding of physics and chemistry ...
