2MASS J11151597+1937266: A Young, Dusty, Isolated, Planetary-Mass Object with a Potential Wide Stellar Companion

Christopher A. Theissen, Adam J. Burgasser, Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi +4

We present 2MASS J11151597+1937266, a recently identified low-surface gravity L dwarf, classified as an L2 based on Sloan Digital Sky Survey optical spectroscopy. We confirm thi…

Activity and Kinematics of White Dwarf-M Dwarf Binaries from the SUPERBLINK Proper Motion Survey

Julie N. Skinner, Dylan P. Morgan, Andrew A. West +2

We present an activity and kinematic analysis of high proper motion white dwarf-M dwarf binaries (WD+dMs) found in the SUPERBLINK survey, 178 of which are new identifications. To i…

An empirical template library of stellar spectra for a wide range of spectral classes, luminosity classes, and metallicities using SDSS BOSS spectra

Aurora Y. Kesseli, Andrew A. West, Mark Veyette +3

We present a library of empirical stellar spectra created using spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). The templates cover spec…

Collisions of Terrestrial Worlds: The Occurrence of Extreme Mid-Infrared Excesses around Low-Mass Field Stars

Christopher Theissen, Andrew West

We present the results of an investigation into the occurrence and properties (stellar age and mass trends) of low-mass field stars exhibiting extreme mid-infrared (MIR) excesses (…

The Late-Type Extension to MoVeRS (LaTE-MoVeRS): Proper motion verified low-mass stars and brown dwarfs from SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE

Christopher A. Theissen, Andrew A. West, Guillaume Shippe +2

We present the Late-Type Extension to the Motion Verified Red Stars (LaTE-MoVeRS) catalog, containing 46,463 photometric late-type ( M5) dwarfs within the Sloan Digital Sky Surv…

Using Close White Dwarf + M Dwarf Stellar Pairs to Constrain the Flare Rates in Close Stellar Binaries

Dylan P. Morgan, Andrew A. West, Andrew C. Becker

We present a study of the statistical flare rates of M dwarfs (dMs) with close white dwarf (WD) companions (WD+dM; typical separations < 1 au). Our previous analysis demonstrated t…
