Discovery of Cold Brown Dwarfs or Free-Floating Giant Planets Close to the Sun
Sandy K. Leggett, Daniel Apai, Adam Burgasser +9
This White Paper describes the opportunities for discovery of Jupiter-mass objects with 300K atmospheres. The discovery and characterization of such cold objects is vital for under…
Initial mass function effects on the colour evolution of disk galaxies
P. Westera, M. Samland, S. J. Kautsch +2
In this work, we want to find out if the IMF can be determined from colour images, integrated colours, or mass-to-light ratios, especially at high redshift, where galaxies cannot b…
SDSS J042348.57-041403.5AB: A Brown Dwarf Binary Straddling the L/T Transition
Adam J. Burgasser, I. Neill Reid, S. K. Leggett +3
We present the discovery of SDSS J042348.57-041403.5 as a closely-separated (0"16) brown dwarf binary, resolved by the Hubble Space Telescope Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object…
