The ultracool eld dwarfs luminosity function from the Canada-France Brown Dwarf Survey
C. Reyle, P. Delorme, X. Delfosse +4
The Canada-France Brown Dwarf Survey is a wide eld survey for cool brown dwarfs conducted with the MegaCam camera on the CFHT telescope. Our objectives are to nd ultracool brown dw…
Finding ultracool brown dwarfs with MegaCam on CFHT: method and first results
Philippe Delorme, Chris J. Willott, Thierry Forveille +9
We present the first results of a wide field survey for cool brown dwarfs with the MegaCam camera on the CFHT telescope, the Canada-France Brown Dwarf Survey, hereafter CFBDS. Our…
CFBDS J005910.90-011401.3: reaching the T-Y Brown Dwarf transition?
Philippe Delorme, Xavier Delfosse, Loic Albert +9
We report the discovery of CFBDS J005910.90-011401.3 (hereafter CFBDS0059), the coolest brown dwarf identified to date. We found CFBDS0059 using i' and z' images from the Canada-Fr…
Four quasars above redshift 6 discovered by the Canada-France High-z Quasar Survey
Chris J. Willott, Philippe Delorme, Alain Omont +15
The Canada-France High-z Quasar Survey (CFHQS) is an optical survey designed to locate quasars during the epoch of reionization. In this paper we present the discovery of the first…
Five new very low mass binaries
G. Montagnier, D. Segransan, J. -L. Beuzit +12
We report the discovery of companions to 5 nearby late M dwarfs (>M5), LHS1901, LHS4009, LHS6167, LP869-26 and WT460, and we confirm that the recently discovered mid-T brown dwarf…
First results from the Canada-France High-z Quasar Survey: Constraints on the z=6 quasar luminosity function and the quasar contribution to reionization
Chris J. Willott, Xavier Delfosse, Thierry Forveille +2
We present preliminary results of a new quasar survey being undertaken with multi-colour optical imaging from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The current data consists of 3.83…
