Discovery of the Binarity of Gliese 229B, and Constraints on the System's Properties

Samuel Whitebook, Timothy Brandt, Gregory Mirek Brandt +1

We present two epochs of radial velocities of the first imaged T dwarf Gliese 229B obtained with Keck/NIRSPEC. The two radial velocities are discrepant with one another, and with t…
