Simulating Brown Dwarf Observations for Various Mass Functions, Birthrates, and Low-mass Cutoffs
Yadukrishna Raghu, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco +12
After decades of brown dwarf discovery and follow-up, we can now infer the functional form of the mass distribution within 20 parsecs, which serves as a constraint on star formatio…
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…
The Enigmatic Brown Dwarf WISEA J153429.75-104303.3 (aka "The Accident")
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Dan Caselden +10
Continued follow-up of WISEA J153429.75-104303.3, announced in Meisner et al (2020), has proven it to have an unusual set of properties. New imaging data from Keck/MOSFIRE and HST/…
The AllWISE Motion Survey, Part 2
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Kendra Kellogg, Adam C. Schneider +17
We use the AllWISE Data Release to continue our search for WISE-detected motions. In this paper, we publish another 27,846 motion objects, bringing the total number to 48,000 when…
The First Hundred Brown Dwarfs Discovered by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Michael C. Cushing, Christopher R. Gelino +37
We present ground-based spectroscopic verification of six Y dwarfs (see Cushing et al), eighty-nine T dwarfs, eight L dwarfs, and one M dwarf identified by the Wide-field Infrared…
Discoveries from a Near-infrared Proper Motion Survey using Multi-epoch 2MASS Data
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Dagny L. Looper, Adam J. Burgasser +12
We have conducted a 4030-square-deg near-infrared proper motion survey using multi-epoch data from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS). We find 2778 proper motion candidates, 647…
