Star Clusters in the Galactic Anticenter Stellar Structure and the Origin of Outer Old Open Clusters
Peter M. Frinchaboy, Steven R. Majewski, Jeffrey D. Crane +5
The Galactic Anticenter Stellar Structure (GASS) has been identified with excess surface densities of field stars in several large area sky surveys, and with an unusual, string-lik…
Meeting the Cool Neighbors VII: Spectroscopy of faint, red NLTT dwarfs
I. N. Reid, K. L. Cruz, P. Allen +7
We present low-resolution optical spectroscopy and BVRI photometry of 453 candidate nearby stars drawn from the NLTT proper motion catalogue. The stars were selected based on optic…
Luminosity Functions of Young Clusters: Modeling the Substellar Mass Regime
P. R. Allen, D. E. Trilling, D. W. Koerner +1
We predict near-infrared luminosity functions of young (5 Myr to 1 Gyr) star clusters by combining evolutionary models of very low-mass ( to ) dwarfs with em…
The First Substellar Subdwarf? Discovery of a Metal-poor L Dwarf with Halo Kinematics
Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam Burrows +6
We present the discovery of the first L-type subdwarf, 2MASS J05325346+8246465. This object exhibits enhanced collision-induced H absorption, resulting in blue NIR colors ($J-K…
The Subdwarf Luminosity Function
Andrew P. Digby, Nigel C. Hambly, John A. Cooke +2
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release and SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey scans of POSS-I plates we identify a sample of 2600 subdwarfs using reduced proper motion…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Binary Very-Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
J. E. Gizis, I. N. Reid, G. R. Knapp +4
We present analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images of 82 nearby field late-M and L dwarfs. We resolve 13 of these systems into double M/L dwarf systems and identify an additional…
Discovery of a New Nearby Star
B. J. Teegarden, S. H. Pravdo, M. Hicks +6
We report the discovery of a nearby star with a very large proper motion of 5.06 +/- 0.03 arcsec/yr. The star is called SO025300.5+165258 and referred to herein as HPMS (high prope…
The Discovery of Two Nearby Carbon Dwarfs
Patrick J. Lowrance, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, I. Neill Reid +2
The comparison of optical and 2MASS near-infrared photometry for large samples of catalogued proper motion stars has the potential to discover previously unrecognized nearby object…
