Three Thousand Motion-Confirmed L and T Dwarf Candidates from the Backyard Worlds:~Planet 9 Citizen Science Project

Adam C. Schneider, Marc J. Kuchner, Jacqueline K. Faherty +73

The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project uses data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer to detect infrared objects with significant motion. In this work, we pr…

High Proper Motion Discoveries from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

Wings Zhang, Adam C. Schneider, Thomas P. Bickle +31

We used the third data release of the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey to locate previously unrecognized high proper motion objects. We identify a total of 127 new discoveries with total pr…

Eight New Substellar Hyades Candidates from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

Adam C. Schneider, Michael C. Cushing, Robert A. Stiller +16

We have used the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey (UHS) combined with the UKIDSS Galactic Cluster Survey (GCS), the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS), and the CatWISE2020 catalog to search…

Substellar Hyades Candidates from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey

Adam C. Schneider, Frederick J. Vrba, Jeffrey A. Munn +14

We have used data from the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey (UHS) to search for substellar members of the Hyades cluster. Our search recovered several known substellar Hyades members, and t…

The Field Substellar Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 525 L, T, and Y Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Christopher R. Gelino, Jacqueline K. Faherty +49

We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of th…
