On the Origin of Metals in Some Hot White Dwarf Photospheres

M. R. Burleigh, M. A. Barstow, J. Farihi +6

We have searched for evidence for dust and gas disks at a sample of hot DA white dwarfs 20 000K < Teff < 50 000K, without success. Although their atmospheres are polluted with heav…

Proper motions of field L and T dwarfs -II

S. L. Casewell, R. F. Jameson, M. R. Burleigh

By using images taken with WFCAM on UKIRT and SofI on the NTT and combining them with 2MASS we have measured proper motions for 126 L and T dwarfs in the dwarf archive. Two of thes…

Proper motions of field L and T dwarfs

R. F. Jameson, S. L. Casewell, N. P. Bannister +4

The proper motion measurements for 143 previously known L and T dwarfs are presented. From this sample we identify and discuss 8 high velocity L dwarfs. We also find 4 new wide com…

L and T dwarfs in the Hyades and Ursa Major moving groups

N. P. Bannister, R. F. Jameson

We have used the moving cluster method to identify three L dwarfs and one T dwarf in the Ursa Major/Sirius moving group (age 400 Myr). Five L dwarfs and two T dwarfs are found to b…

The imaging X-ray detector for Lobster-ISS

J. K. Black, A. N. Brunton, N. P. Bannister +2

Lobster-ISS is a revolutionary astrophysical X-ray all-sky monitor scheduled for deployment as an attached payload on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2009. Using a new wid…

Heavy element abundance patterns in hot DA white dwarfs

M. A. Barstow, S. A. good, J. B. Holberg +5

We present a series of systematic abundance measurements for 25 hot DA white dwarfs in the temperature range ~20000-110000K, based on far-UV spectroscopy with STIS/GHRS on HST, IUE…
