Toward the End of Stars: Discovering the Galaxy's Coldest Brown Dwarfs
Adam J. Burgasser, Josh Bloom, Kelle Cruz +9
This White Paper to the National Academy of Sciences Astro2010 Decadal Review Committee highlights cross-disciplinary science opportunities over the next decade with cold brown dwa…
The Formation and Architecture of Young Planetary Systems
Adam L. Kraus, Kevin Covey, Michael Liu +5
Newly-formed planetary systems with ages of <10 Myr offer many unique insights into the formation, evolution, and fundamental properties of extrasolar planets. These planets have f…
The Palomar/Keck Adaptive Optics Survey of Young Solar Analogs: Evidence for a Universal Companion Mass Function
Stanimir Metchev, Lynne Hillenbrand
We present results from an adaptive optics survey for substellar and stellar companions to Sun-like stars. The survey targeted 266 F5-K5 stars in the 3Myr to 3Gyr age range with di…
A Cross-Match of 2MASS and SDSS: Newly-Found L and T Dwarfs and an Estimate of the Space Densitfy of T Dwarfs
Stanimir Metchev, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, G. Bruce Berriman +1
We report new L and T dwarfs found in a cross-match of the SDSS Data Release 1 and 2MASS. Our simultaneous search of the two databases effectively allows us to relax the criteria f…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: Placing Our Solar System in Context with Spitzer
Michael R. Meyer, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Dana Backman +32
We provide an overview of the Spitzer Legacy Program ``Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems" (FEPS) which was proposed in 2000, begun in 2001, and executed aboard the Spitz…
First High-Contrast Science with an Integral Field Spectrograph: the Sub-Stellar Companion to GQ Lup
Michael W. McElwain, Stanimir A. Metchev, James E. Larkin +6
We present commissioning data from the OSIRIS integral field spectrograph (IFS) on the Keck II 10 m telescope that demonstrate the utility of adaptive optics IFS spectroscopy in st…
