Radial Velocity Variability of Field Brown Dwarfs

L. Prato, G. N. Mace, E. L. Rice +4

We present paper six of the NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey, an analysis of multi-epoch, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectra of 25 field dwarf systems (3 late-type M dwarfs…

The NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey II: High-Resolution J-Band Spectra of M, L and T Dwarfs

Ian S. McLean, L. Prato, Mark R. McGovern +4

We present a sequence of high resolution (R~20,000 or 15 km/s) infrared spectra of stars and brown dwarfs spanning spectral types M2.5 to T6. Observations of 16 objects were obtain…

An Association in the Aquila Star-Forming Region: High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy of T Tauri Stars

E. L. Rice, L. Prato, I. S. McLean

We present the properties of a group of young stars associated with the well-studied T Tauri star system AS 353, located in the Aquila star-forming region. The association is ident…

S Ori 70: Just a Foreground Field Brown Dwarf?

Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Mark R. McGovern +3

We examine recent claims that the T-type brown dwarf S Ori 053810.1-023626 (S Ori 70) is a spectroscopically verified low mass (3 M) member of the 1--8 Myr …

Identifying Young Brown Dwarfs Using Gravity-Sensitive Spectral Features

Mark R. McGovern, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Ian S. McLean +3

We report the initial results of the Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey Gravity Project, to study gravity sensitive features as indicators of youth in brown dwarfs. Low-resolution (R…

The NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey. I. Low-Resolution Near-Infrared Spectra

Ian S. McLean, Mark R. McGovern, Adam J. Burgasser +3

We present the first results of a near-infrared (0.96-2.31 micron) spectroscopic survey of M, L, and T dwarfs obtained with NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. Our new survey has a r…
