Ultracool Dwarf Science from Widefield Multi-Epoch Surveys
N. R. Deacon, D. J. Pinfield, P. W. Lucas +9
Widefield surveys have always provided a rich hunting ground for the coolest stars and brown dwarfs. The single epoch surveys at the beginning of this century greatly expanded the…
Searching for Young M Dwarfs with GALEX
Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Michael C. Liu, Iain Neill Reid +2
The census of young moving groups in the solar neighborhood is significantly incomplete in the low-mass regime. We have developed a new selection process to find these missing memb…
Discovery of a Highly Unequal-Mass Binary T Dwarf with Keck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics: A Coevality Test of Substellar Theoretical Models and Effective Temperatures
Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy, S. K. Leggett
(Abridged) Highly unequal-mass ratio binaries are rare among field brown dwarfs, with the known census described by q^(4.9+/-0.7). However, such systems can test the joint accuracy…
The Gemini NICI Planet-Finding Campaign
Michael C. Liu, Zahed Wahhaj, Beth A. Biller +21
Our team is carrying out a multi-year observing program to directly image and characterize young extrasolar planets using the Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) on the Gemin…
A Spitzer Search For Planetary-Mass Brown Dwarfs With Circumstellar Disks: Candidate Selection
Paul M. Harvey, Daniel T. Jaffe, Katelyn Allers +1
We report on initial results from a Spitzer program to search for very low-mass brown dwarfs in Ophiuchus. This program is an extension of an earlier study by Allers et al. which h…
Studying the Physical Diversity of Late-M Dwarfs with Dynamical Masses
Trent Dupuy, Michael Liu, Brendan Bowler +4
We present a systematic study of the physical properties of late-M dwarfs based on high-quality dynamical mass measurements and near-infrared (NIR) spectra. We use astrometry from…
