Identifying nearby field T dwarfs in the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey
N. Lodieu, B. Burningham, N. C. Hambly +1
We present the discovery of two new late-T dwarfs identified in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters Survey (GCS) Data Release 2 (DR2). These T dwarfs are…
Diversity among other worlds: characterization of exoplanets by direct detection
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, A. Aylward +34
The physical characterization of exoplanets will require to take spectra at several orbital positions. For that purpose, a direct imaging capability is necessary. Direct imaging re…
Infrared Spectroscopy and Analysis of Brown Dwarf and Planetary Mass Objects in the Orion Nebula Cluster
D. J. Weights, P. W. Lucas, P. F. Roche +2
We present near-infrared long slit and multi-slit spectra of low mass brown dwarf candidates in the Orion Nebula Cluster. The long slit data were observed in the H- & K-bands using…
A Metal-biased Planet Search
J. S. Jenkins, H. R. A. Jones, J. R. Barnes +5
We have begun a metal-rich planet search project using the HARPS instrument in La Silla, Chile to target planets with a high potential to transit their host star and add to the num…
Using SPICA Space Telescope to characterize Exoplanets
J. R. Goicoechea, B. Swinyard, G. Tinetti +26
We present the 3.5m SPICA space telescope, a proposed Japanese-led JAXA-ESA mission scheduled for launch around 2017. The actively cooled (<5 K), single aperture telescope and mono…
HD 179949b: A Close Orbiting Extrasolar Giant Planet with a stratosphere?
J. R. Barnes, Travis S. Barman, H. R. A. Jones +4
We have carried out a search for the 2.14 micron spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet, HD 179949b. High cadence time series spectra were obtained w…
