Two late-T dwarfs at kiloparsec distances revealed by JWST UNCOVER survey

D. H. Li, Z. H. Zhang, H. H. Peng +3

We conducted a search for brown dwarf candidates in a James Webb Space Telescope deep field around A2744 to investigate the space density of these objects at kiloparsec distances.…

The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- IV. GTC/OSIRIS optical spectra of Gaia late-M and L dwarfs

W. J. Cooper, H. R. A. Jones, R. L. Smart +20

As part of our comprehensive, ongoing characterisation of the low-mass end of the main sequence in the Solar neighbourhood, we used the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4 m Gran Telesco…

First discovery of an ultra-cool white dwarf benchmark in common proper motion with an M dwarf

M. C. Lam, N. C. Hambly, N. Lodieu +5

Ultra-cool white dwarfs are among the oldest stellar remnants in the Universe. Their efficient gravitational settling and low effective temperatures are responsible for the smooth…

Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs - IV. New L subdwarfs, Gaia astrometry, population properties, and a blue brown dwarf binary

Z. H. Zhang, M. C. Galvez-Ortiz, D. J. Pinfield +13

We present 27 new L subdwarfs and classify five of them as esdL and 22 as sdL. Our L subdwarf candidates were selected with the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky…

VIRAC: The VVV Infrared Astrometric Catalogue

L. C. Smith, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +12

We present VIRAC version 1, a near-infrared proper motion and parallax catalogue of the VISTA VVV survey for 312,587,642 unique sources averaged across all overlapping pawprint and…

Ultracool dwarf benchmarks with \emph{Gaia} primaries

F. Marocco, D. J. Pinfield, N. J. Cook +14

We explore the potential of \emph{Gaia} for the field of benchmark ultracool/brown dwarf companions, and present the results of an initial search for metal-rich/metal-poor systems.…
