THE FIRST HUNDRED BROWN DWARFS DISCOVERED BY THE WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER (WISE)
- J. Kirkpatrick, M. Cushing, W. Vacca
- Physics, Geology
- 23 August 2011
We present ground-based spectroscopic verification of 6 Y dwarfs (see also Cushing et al.), 89 T dwarfs, 8 L dwarfs, and 1 M dwarf identified by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Eighty…
FURTHER DEFINING SPECTRAL TYPE "Y" AND EXPLORING THE LOW-MASS END OF THE FIELD BROWN DWARF MASS FUNCTION
- J. Kirkpatrick, C. Gelino, G. Salter
- Physics, Geology
- 9 May 2012
We present the discovery of another seven Y dwarfs from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Using these objects, as well as the first six WISE Y dwarf discoveries from Cushing et al., we…

The Brown Dwarf Kinematics Project I. Proper motions and tangential velocities for a large sample of late-type M, L, and T dwarfs
- J. Faherty, A. Burgasser, K. Cruz, M. Shara, F. Walter, C. Gelino
- Physics, Geology
- 17 September 2008
We report proper-motion measurements for 427 late-type M, L, and T dwarfs, 332 of which have been measured for the first time. Combining these new proper motions with previously published…
The Discovery of Y Dwarfs using Data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
- M. Cushing, J. Kirkpatrick, E. Wright
- Physics, Geology
- 23 August 2011
We present the discovery of seven ultracool brown dwarfs identified with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Near-infrared spectroscopy reveals deep absorption bands of H_(2)O and CH_4…
Initial Performance of the NEOWISE Reactivation Mission
- A. Mainzer, J. Bauer, L. Yan
- Physics, Geology
- 23 June 2014
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft has been brought out of hibernation and has resumed surveying the sky at 3.4 and 4.6 um. The scientific objectives of the NEOWISE…
Reflected Spectra and Albedos of Extrasolar Giant Planets. I. Clear and Cloudy Atmospheres
- M. Marley, C. Gelino, D. Stephens, J. Lunine, R. Freedman
- Physics, Geology
- 5 October 1998
The reflected spectra of extrasolar giant planets are primarily influenced by Rayleigh scattering, molecular absorption, and atmospheric condensates. We present model geometric albedo and…
The First Hyper-Luminous Infrared Galaxy Discovered by WISE
- P. Eisenhardt, Jingwen Wu, Lin Yan

TLDR
A Sample of Very Young Field L Dwarfs and Implications for the Brown Dwarf “Lithium Test” at Early Ages*
- J. Kirkpatrick, K. Cruz, J. Stauffer
- Physics, Geology
- 22 August 2008
Using a large sample of optical spectra of late-type dwarfs, we identify a subset of late-M through L field dwarfs that, because of the presence of low-gravity features in their spectra, are believed…
SpeX Spectroscopy of Unresolved Very Low Mass Binaries. I. Identification of 17 Candidate Binaries Straddling the L Dwarf/T Dwarf Transition
- A. Burgasser, K. Cruz, I. Reid
- Physics
- 18 December 2009
We report the identification of 17 candidate brown dwarf binaries whose components straddle the L dwarf/T dwarf transition. These sources were culled from a large near-infrared spectral sample of L…
