A Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to Search for Y Dwarf Variability

Michael C. Cushing, Jesica L. Trucks, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +10

We present the results of a Spitzer Space Telescope Exploration Science Program to search for and characterize variability in Y dwarfs. We observed 14 Y dwarfs over a 24 hr period…

JWST 1.5 μm and 4.8 μm Photometry of Y Dwarfs

Loïc Albert, Sandy K. Leggett, Per Calissendorff +20

Brown dwarfs lack nuclear fusion and cool with time; the coldest known have an effective temperature below 500 K, and are known as Y dwarfs. We present a James Webb Space Telescope…

The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs

W. J. Cooper, H. R. A. Jones, R. L. Smart +20

As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterisation of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telesco…

Thirteen New M Dwarf + T Dwarf Pairs Identified with WISE/NEOWISE

Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam C. Schneider +31

We present the discovery of 13 new widely separated T dwarf companions to M dwarf primaries, identified using WISE/NEOWISE data by the CatWISE and Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project…

The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs

J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85

A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…
