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…
Serendipitous Discovery and Parallax of a Nearby L Dwarf
J. R. Thorstensen, J. D. Kirkpatrick
A field star serendipitously observed in a parallax program proved to have a proper motion of 562 mas/yr and a parallax of 82 +- 2 mas. The star is identified with 2MASS J07003664+…
The First Substellar Subdwarf? Discovery of a Metal-poor L Dwarf with Halo Kinematics
Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam Burrows +6
We present the discovery of the first L-type subdwarf, 2MASS J05325346+8246465. This object exhibits enhanced collision-induced H absorption, resulting in blue NIR colors ($J-K…
The Discovery of Two Nearby Carbon Dwarfs
Patrick J. Lowrance, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, I. Neill Reid +2
The comparison of optical and 2MASS near-infrared photometry for large samples of catalogued proper motion stars has the potential to discover previously unrecognized nearby object…
