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…
Clouds, Gravity and Metallicity in Blue L dwarfs: The Case of 2MASS J11263991-5003550
Adam J. Burgasser, Dagny L. Looper, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +2
Optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the newly discovered peculiar L dwarf 2MASS J11263991-5003550 are presented. Folkes et al. identified this source as a high proper motion…
Near-Infrared Variability in the 2MASS Calibration Fields: A Search for Planetary Transit Candidates
Peter Plavchan, M. Jura, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +2
The 2MASS photometric calibration observations cover ~6 square degrees on the sky in 35 "calibration fields" each sampled in nominal photometric conditions between 562 and 3692 tim…
Discovery of 11 New T Dwarfs in the Two Micron All-Sky Survey, Including a Possible L/T Transition Binary
Dagny L. Looper, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Adam J. Burgasser
We present the discovery of 11 new T dwarfs, found during the course of a photometric survey for mid-to-late T dwarfs in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog and from a proper motion sel…
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…
