Individual Dynamical Masses of DENIS J063001.4184014AB Reveal A Likely Young Brown Dwarf Triple
Johannes Sahlmann, Trent J. Dupuy, Adam J. Burgasser +6
The binary nature of the M8.5 dwarf DENIS J063001.4184014AB (DE063018) was discovered with astrometric monitoring from the ground, which determined the unresolved photocentri…
Discovery of Cold Brown Dwarfs or Free-Floating Giant Planets Close to the Sun
Sandy K. Leggett, Daniel Apai, Adam Burgasser +9
This White Paper describes the opportunities for discovery of Jupiter-mass objects with 300K atmospheres. The discovery and characterization of such cold objects is vital for under…
SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer
A. Cimatti, M. Robberto, C. M. Baugh +18
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Visio…
Discovery of a T Dwarf Binary with the Largest Known J-Band Flux Reversal
D. L. Looper, C. R. Gelino, A. J. Burgasser +1
We present Keck laser guide star observations of two T2.5 dwarfs - 2MASS J11061197+2754225 & 2MASS J14044941-3159329 - using NIRC2 on Keck-II and find 2MASS J14044941-3159329 to be…
SDSS J042348.57-041403.5AB: A Brown Dwarf Binary Straddling the L/T Transition
Adam J. Burgasser, I. Neill Reid, S. K. Leggett +3
We present the discovery of SDSS J042348.57-041403.5 as a closely-separated (0"16) brown dwarf binary, resolved by the Hubble Space Telescope Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object…
Optical Spectroscopy of T Dwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick
Optical spectra are presented for a sample of T dwarfs, obtained using the Keck 10m Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph. Dominant features are discussed, including possible tempera…
