New Ultracool Companions to Nearby White Dwarfs
Alexia Bravo, Adam C. Schneider, Sarah Casewell +15
We conducted a search for new ultracool companions to nearby white dwarfs using multiple methods, including the analysis of colors and examination of images in both the optical and…
Discovery of 118 New Ultracool Dwarf Candidates Using Machine Learning Techniques
Hunter Brooks, Dan Caselden, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +44
We present the discovery of 118 new ultracool dwarf candidates, discovered using a new machine learning tool, named \texttt{SMDET}, applied to time series images from the Wide-fiel…
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…
Precise Bolometric Luminosities and Effective Temperatures of 23 late-T and Y dwarfs Obtained with JWST
Samuel A. Beiler, Michael C. Cushing, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +5
We present infrared spectral energy distributions of 23 late-type T and Y dwarfs obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope. The spectral energy distributions consist of NIRSpec…
Simulating Brown Dwarf Observations for Various Mass Functions, Birthrates, and Low-mass Cutoffs
Yadukrishna Raghu, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco +12
After decades of brown dwarf discovery and follow-up, we can now infer the functional form of the mass distribution within 20 parsecs, which serves as a constraint on star formatio…
Discovery of the Remarkably Red L/T Transition Object VHS J183135.58-551355.9
Thomas P. Bickle, Adam C. Schneider, Jonathan Gagné +15
We present the discovery of VHS J183135.58551355.9 (hereafter VHS J18315513), an L/T transition dwarf identified as a result of its unusually red near-infrared colors ($J-K_{…
Thirteen New M Dwarf + T Dwarf Pairs Identified with WISE/NEOWISE
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam C. Schneider +31
We present the discovery of 13 new widely separated T dwarf companions to M dwarf primaries, identified using WISE/NEOWISE data by the CatWISE and Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project…
Methane Emission From a Cool Brown Dwarf
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham, Jonathan Gagné +21
Beyond our solar system, aurorae have been inferred from radio observations of isolated brown dwarfs (e.g. Hallinan et al. 2006; Kao et al. 2023). Within our solar system, giant pl…
89 New Ultracool Dwarf Co-Moving Companions Identified With The Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 Citizen Science Project
Austin Rothermich, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Daniella Bardalez-Gagliuffi +43
We report the identification of 89 new systems containing ultracool dwarf companions to main sequence stars and white dwarfs, using the citizen science project Backyard Worlds: Pla…
Near-infrared spectroscopic characterisation of Gaia ultra-cool dwarf candidates; Spectral types and peculiarities
T. Ravinet, C. Reylé, N. Lagarde +10
Context: The local census of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs is crucial to improving our understanding of the stellar-substellar transition and their formation history. These…
