Resolved Spectroscopy of the T8.5 and Y0-0.5 Binary WISEPC J121756.91+162640.2AB

S. K. Leggett, Michael C. Liu, Trent J. Dupuy +3

We present 0.9 - 2.5 um resolved spectra for the ultracool binary WISEPC J121756.91+162640.2AB. The system consists of a pair of brown dwarfs that straddles the currently defined T…

NPARSEC: NTT Parallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool objects. Goals, targets, procedures and first results

R. L. Smart, C. G. Tinney, B. Bucciarelli +21

The discovery and subsequent detailed study of T dwarfs has provided many surprises and pushed the physics and modeling of cool atmospheres in unpredicted directions. Distance is a…

Seventy six T dwarfs from the UKIDSS LAS: benchmarks, kinematics and an updated space density

Ben Burningham, C. V. Cardoso, L. Smith +34

We report the discovery of 76 new T dwarfs from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS). Near-infrared broad and narrow-band photometry and spectroscopy are presented for the new object…

Discovery of the benchmark metal poor T8 dwarf BD+01 2920B

D. J. Pinfield, B. Burningham, N. Lodieu +20

We have searched the WISE first data release for widely separated (<10,000AU) late T dwarf companions to Hipparcos and Gliese stars. We have discovered a new binary system containi…

The properties of the T8.5p dwarf Ross 458C

Ben Burningham, S. K. Leggett, D. Homeier +12

We present near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy, and warm-Spitzer IRAC photometry of the young very cool T dwarf Ross 458C, which we have typed as T8.5p. By applying the fiduc…

The discovery of the T8.5 dwarf UGPS J0521+3640

Ben Burningham, P. W. Lucas, S. K. Leggett +15

We have carried out a search for late-type T dwarfs in the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey 6th Data Release. The search yielded two persuasive candidates, both of which have been conf…
