Spitzer + HST parallaxes of 13 late T and Y dwarfs
Federico Marocco, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Richard L. Smart +13
We present astrometric measurements for 13 cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood (d < 20pc). By combining archival Spitzer data with our own Hubble Space Telescope (HST) obse…
J1250+0455AB an ultracool binary in a hierarchical triple system
Sayan Baig, R. L. Smart, Hugh R. A. Jones +7
We report the discovery of the ultracool dwarf binary system J1250+0455AB, a low-mass (M 0.2 M) system in which the components straddle the M/L dwa…
Benchmark brown dwarfs -- I. A blue M2 + T5 wide binary and a probable young [M4 + M4] + [T7 + T8] hierarchical quadruple
Z. H. Zhang, F. Navarete, M. C. Galvez-Ortiz +13
Benchmark brown dwarfs in wide binary systems are crucial for characterizing substellar objects and calibrating atmospheric and evolutionary models. However, brown dwarf benchmarks…
Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs -- VIII. The first age benchmark L subdwarf, a wide companion to a halo white dwarf
Z. H. Zhang, R. Raddi, A. J. Burgasser +12
We report the discovery of five white dwarf + ultracool dwarf systems identified as common proper motion wide binaries in the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars. The discoveries includ…
The Gaia Ultracool Dwarf Sample -- V: The Ultracool Dwarf Companion catalogue
Sayan Baig, R. L. Smart, Hugh R. A. Jones +4
We present the Ultracool Dwarf Companion Catalogue of 278 multiple systems, 32 of which are newly discovered, each with at least one spectroscopically confirmed Ultracool Dwarf, wi…
Precise Bolometric Luminosities and Effective Temperatures of 23 late-T and Y dwarfs Obtained with JWST
Samuel A. Beiler, Michael C. Cushing, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +5
We present infrared spectral energy distributions of 23 late-type T and Y dwarfs obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope. The spectral energy distributions consist of NIRSpec…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- A glance at free-floating new-born planets in the sigma Orionis cluster
E. L. Martín, M. {Ž}erjal, H. Bouy +175
We provide an early assessment of the imaging capabilities of the Euclid space mission to probe deeply into nearby star-forming regions and associated very young open clusters, and…
Gaia DR3 detectability of unresolved binary systems
Alfred Castro-Ginard, Zephyr Penoyre, Andrew R. Casey +10
Gaia can not individually resolve very close binary systems, however, the collected data can still be used to identify them. A powerful indicator of stellar multiplicity is the sou…
TOI-4336 A b: A temperate sub-Neptune ripe for atmospheric characterization in a nearby triple M-dwarf system
M. Timmermans, G. Dransfield, M. Gillon +54
Small planets transiting bright nearby stars are essential to our understanding of the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. However, few constitute prime targets for at…
The Initial Mass Function Based on the Full-sky 20-pc Census of 3,600 Stars and Brown Dwarfs
J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Federico Marocco, Christopher R. Gelino +85
A complete accounting of nearby objects -- from the highest-mass white dwarf progenitors down to low-mass brown dwarfs -- is now possible, thanks to an almost complete set of trigo…
WISE J064336.71-022315.4: A Thick Disk L8 Gaia DR2-Discovered Brown Dwarf at 13.9 Parsecs
E. E. Mamajek, F. Marocco, J. M. Rees +3
While spectroscopically characterizing nearby ultracool dwarfs discovered in the Gaia Second Data Release with the TripleSpec spectrograph on the Palomar 200'' telescope, we encoun…
Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs - IV. New L subdwarfs, Gaia astrometry, population properties, and a blue brown dwarf binary
Z. H. Zhang, M. C. Galvez-Ortiz, D. J. Pinfield +13
We present 27 new L subdwarfs and classify five of them as esdL and 22 as sdL. Our L subdwarf candidates were selected with the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky…
Primeval very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs - III. The halo transitional brown dwarfs
Z. H. Zhang, D. J. Pinfield, M. C. Galvez-Ortiz +11
We report the discovery of an esdL3 subdwarf, ULAS J020858.62+020657.0, and a usdL4.5 subdwarf, ULAS J230711.01+014447.1. They were identified as L subdwarfs by optical spectra obt…
Characterizing the astrometric precision limit for moving targets observed with digital-array detectors
S. Bouquillon, R. A. Mendez, M. Altmann +5
Aims. We investigate the maximum astrometric precision that can be reached on moving targets observed with digital-sensor arrays, and provide an estimate for its ultimate lower lim…
Ultracool dwarf benchmarks with \emph{Gaia} primaries
F. Marocco, D. J. Pinfield, N. J. Cook +14
We explore the potential of \emph{Gaia} for the field of benchmark ultracool/brown dwarf companions, and present the results of an initial search for metal-rich/metal-poor systems.…
