New Cold Subdwarf Discoveries from Backyard Worlds and a Metallicity Classification System for T Subdwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Adam C. Schneider, Aaron M. Meisner +36
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of candidate T subdwarfs identified by the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. Near-infrared spectra of 31 sources with red co…
Discovery of 118 New Ultracool Dwarf Candidates Using Machine Learning Techniques
Hunter Brooks, Dan Caselden, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +44
We present the discovery of 118 new ultracool dwarf candidates, discovered using a new machine learning tool, named \texttt{SMDET}, applied to time series images from the Wide-fiel…
Discovery of a Hypervelocity L Subdwarf at the Star/Brown Dwarf Mass Limit
Adam J. Burgasser, Roman Gerasimov, Kyle Kremer +18
We report the discovery of a high velocity, very low-mass star or brown dwarf whose kinematics suggest it is unbound to the Milky Way. CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 was identified by c…
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…
Long-term 4.6m Variability in Brown Dwarfs and a New Technique for Identifying Brown Dwarf Binary Candidates
Hunter Brooks, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Aaron M. Meisner +11
Using a sample of 361 nearby brown dwarfs, we have searched for 4.6m variability indicative of large-scale rotational modulations or large-scale long-term changes on timescales…
Discovery of CWISE J052306.42-015355.4, an Extreme T Subdwarf Candidate
Hunter Brooks, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Dan Caselden +8
We present the discovery of CWISE J052306.42015355.4, which was found as a faint, significant proper motion object (0.52 0.08 arcsec yr) using machine learning tool…
