The current population of benchmark brown dwarfs
A. C. Day-Jones, D. J. Pinfield, M. T. Ruiz +7
The number of brown dwarfs (BDs) now identified tops 700. Yet our understanding of these cool objects is still lacking, and models are struggling to accurately reproduce observatio…
The Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search
J. S. Jenkins, H. R. A. Jones, K. Gozdziewski +7
The detailed study of the exoplanetary systems HD189733 and HD209458 has given rise to a wealth of exciting information on the physics of exoplanetary atmospheres. To further our u…
Benchmark ultra-cool dwarfs in widely separated binary systems
Z. H. Zhang, D. J. Pinfield, A. C. Day-Jones +2
Ultra-cool dwarfs as wide companions to subgiants, giants, white dwarfs and main sequence stars can be very good benchmark objects, for which we can infer physical properties with…
First Results from the CHEPS: Exoplanets and the Discovery of an Eccentric Brown Dwarf in the Desert
James S. Jenkins, Hugh R. A. Jones, Krzysztof Gozdziewski +7
We report the discovery of a brown dwarf on an eccentric orbit and with a semimajor axis that places it in the brown dwarf desert region around the star HD191760. The star has a sp…
The discovery of an M4+T8.5 binary system
Ben Burningham, D. J. Pinfield, S. K. Leggett +17
We report the discovery of a T8.5 dwarf, which is a companion to the M4 dwarf Wolf 940. At a distance of 12.50 (+0.75,-0.67) pc, the angular separation of 32arcsec corresponds to a…
