The Late-Type Extension to MoVeRS (LaTE-MoVeRS): Proper motion verified low-mass stars and brown dwarfs from SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE

Abstract

We present the Late-Type Extension to the Motion Verified Red Stars (LaTE-MoVeRS) catalog, containing 46,463 photometric late-type ($>$ M5) dwarfs within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint. Proper motions were computed for objects combining astrometry from the SDSS Data Release 12 (DR12), the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog (PSC), and the \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (\emph{WISE}) AllWISE datasets. LaTE-MoVeRS objects were required to have significant proper motion (${\mu }_{\mathrm{tot}}⩾2{\sigma }_{{\mu }_{\mathrm{tot}}}$). Using the LaTE-MoVeRS sample and \emph{Gaia} Data Release 1, we estimate \emph{Gaia} will be $\sim$64\% complete for very-low-mass objects ($>$ M5) in comparison to the combined SDSS+2MASS+\emph{WISE} dataset ($i<21.3$). We computed photometric distances and estimated stellar effective temperatures for the LaTE-MoVeRS catalog. The majority of the dwarfs in the sample have distances $<150$ pc and $T_{\mathrm{eff}}<3000$ K. Thirteen objects were identified within LaTE-MoVeRS with estimated photometric distances within 25 pc that have not been previously identified as nearby objects. We also identified one new object with a large amount of excess mid-infrared flux that has not been previously identified (2MASS J11151597$+$1937266). This object appears to be an L2$\gamma$ at $\sim$50 pc showing spectroscopic signs of a flaring event (e.g., strong Hydrogen Balmer emission lines). This object does not exhibit kinematics similar to any known kinematic association. The LaTE-MoVeRS catalog is available through SDSS CasJobs and VizieR.
