An Improved Near-infrared Spectrum of the Archetype Y Dwarf WISEP J182831.08+265037.8 [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We present a Hubble Space Telescope/Wide-Field Camera 3 near-infrared spectrum of the archetype Y dwarf WISEP 182831.08+265037.8. The spectrum covers the 0.9–1.7 μm wavelength range at a resolving power of λ/Δλ ≈ 180 and is a significant improvement over the previously published spectrum because it covers a broader wavelength ...

Keck NIRES Spectral Standards for L, T, and Y Dwarfs
Research Notes of the AAS, 2022 Abstract We present medium-resolution (λ/Δλ = 2700), near-infrared spectral standards for field L0–L2, L4, and L7–Y0 dwarfs obtained with the Near-Infrared Echellette Spectrometer on the Keck II 10 m telescope. These standards allow for detailed spectral comparative analysis of cold brown dwarfs discovered through ongoing ground-based ...
