The 0.8-14.5 micron Spectra of Mid-L to Mid-T Dwarfs: Diagnostics of Effective Temperature, Grain Sedimentation, Gas Transport, and Surface Gravity
D. C. Stephens, S. K. Leggett, Michael C. Cushing +6
We present new 5.2-14.5 micron low-resolution spectra of 14 mid-L to mid-T dwarfs, as well as 3.0-4.1 micron spectra for five of these dwarfs. These data are supplemented by existi…
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…
Oph 1622-2405: Not a Planetary-Mass Binary
K. L. Luhman, K. N. Allers, D. T. Jaffe +4
We present an analysis of the mass and age of the young low-mass binary Oph 1622-2405. Using resolved optical spectroscopy of the binary, we measure spectral types of M7.25+/-0.25…
Characterizing Young Brown Dwarfs using Low Resolution Near-IR Spectra
K. N. Allers, D. T. Jaffe, K. L. Luhman +7
We present near-infrared (1.0-2.4 micron) spectra confirming the youth and cool effective temperatures of 6 brown dwarfs and low mass stars with circumstellar disks toward the Cham…
Discovery of a Young Substellar Companion in Chamaeleon
K. L. Luhman, J. C. Wilson, W. Brandner +6
During an imaging survey of the Chamaeleon I star-forming region with the ACS aboard HST, we have discovered a candidate substellar companion to the young low-mass star CHXR 73 (~2…
