Meeting the Cool Neighbors X: Ultracool dwarfs from the 2MASS All-Sky Data Release

I. Neill Reid, Kelle L. Cruz, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +5

Using data from the 2MASS All-Sky Point Source Catalogue, we have extended our census of nearby ultracool dwarfs to cover the full celestial sphere above Galactic latitute 15 degre…

Spitzer-IRAC Search for Companions to Nearby, Young M Dwarfs

Peter R. Allen, I. Neill Reid

We present the results of a survey of nearby, young M stars for wide low-mass companions with IRAC on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We observed 40 young M dwarfs within 20 pc of the…

A New Brown Dwarf Desert? A Scarcity of Wide Ultracool Binaries

Peter R. Allen, David W. Koerner, Michael W. McElwain +2

We present the results of a deep-imaging search for wide companions to low-mass stars and brown dwarfs using NSFCam on IRTF. We searched a sample of 132 M7-L8 dwarfs to magnitude l…

Meeting the Cool Neighbors. IX. The Luminosity Function of M7-L8 Ultracool Dwarfs in the Field

Kelle L. Cruz, I. Neill Reid, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +7

We present a 20-pc, volume-limited sample of M7-L8 dwarfs created through spectroscopic follow-up of sources selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Second Incremental…
