Near-Infrared Photometry and Spectroscopy of L and T Dwarfs: the Effects of Clouds, Gravity, and Effective Temperature
D. A. Golimowski, S. K. Leggett, M. S. Marley +2
We present new JHKL'M' photometry on the MKO system for a large sample of L and T dwarfs identified from SDSS and 2MASS and classified according to the scheme of Geballe et al. (20…
Spectral Classification Beyond M
S. K. Leggett, F. Allard, A. J. Burgasser +3
Significant populations of field L and T dwarfs are now known, and we anticipate the discovery of even cooler dwarfs by Spitzer and ground-based infrared surveys. However, as the n…
The L to T Dwarf Transition
M. S. Marley, M. C. Cushing, D. Saumon
While the precise mechanism responsible for the L to T dwarf transition remains unclear, it is clearly caused by changing cloud characteristics. Here we briefly review data relevan…
The Mid-Infrared Spectra of Brown Dwarfs
D. Saumon, M. S. Marley, K. Lodders
We present an analysis of brown dwarf model spectra in the mid-infrared spectral region (5 - 20 microns), in anticipation of data obtained with the Space Infrared Telescope Facilit…
