Discovery of an M9.5 Candidate Brown Dwarf in the TW Hydrae Association - DENIS J124514.1-442907
Dagny L. Looper, Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +1
We report the discovery of a fifth candidate substellar system in the ~5-10 Myr TW Hydrae Association - DENIS J124514.1-442907. This object has a NIR spectrum remarkably similar to…
A New Population of Young Brown Dwarfs
Kelle L. Cruz, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam J. Burgasser +5
We report the discovery of a population of late-M and L field dwarfs with unusual optical and near-infrared spectral features that we attribute to low gravity -- likely uncommonly…
Discovery of a 66 mas Ultracool Binary with Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Nick Siegler, Laird M. Close, Adam J. Burgasser +4
We present the discovery of 2MASS J21321145+1341584AB as a closely separated (0.066") very low-mass field dwarf binary resolved in the near-infrared by the Keck II Telescope using…
Ultracool Subdwarfs: Subsolar Metallicity Objects Down to Substellar Masses
Adam J. Burgasser
In the past few years, astronomers have uncovered several very low-temperature, metal-poor stars with halo or thick disk kinematics and peculiar spectral and photometric properties…
