SOAR Adaptive Module (SAM): seeing improvement with a UV laser
Andrei Tokovinin, Rolando Cantarutti, Roberto Tighe +4
The adaptive module of the 4.1-m SOAR telescope, SAM, corrects ground-layer turbulence using a UV laser guide star. It has been commissioned in 2013 and it is in regular science op…
The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project (BDKP). III. Parallaxes for 70 Ultracool Dwarfs
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Adam J. Burgasser, Frederick M. Walter +6
We report parallax measurements for 70 ultracool dwarfs (UCDs). Using both literature values and our sample, we report new polynomial relations between spectral type and M.…
Identification of a Wide, Low-Mass Multiple System Containing the Brown Dwarf 2MASS J0850359+105716
Jacqueline K. Faherty, Adam J. Burgasser, John J. Bochanski +3
We report our discovery of NLTT 20346 as an M5+M6 companion system to the tight binary (or triple) L dwarf 2MASS J0850359+105716. This nearby (~31 pc), widely separated (~7700 AU)…
High-resolution imaging at the SOAR telescope
A. Tokovinin, R. Cantarutti, R. Tighe +4
Bright single and binary stars were observed at the 4.1-m telescope with a fast electron-multiplication camera in the regime of partial turbulence correction by the visible-light a…
On the difference between nuclear and contraction ages
W. Lyra, A. Moitinho, N. van der Bliek +1
Context:Ages derived from the low mass stars still contracting onto the main sequence often differ from ages derived from the high mass ones that have already evolved away from it.…
