The PLATO 2.0 mission
PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA’s M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it addresses… Expand
The substellar mass function in σ Orionis II. Optical, near-infrared and IRAC/Spitzer photometry of young cluster brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects ,
- J. A. Caballero, V. S. Béjar, +8 authors E. Martin
- Physics
- 7 May 2007
Aims. We investigate the mass function in the substellar domain down to a few Jupiter masses in the young σ Orionis open cluster (3 ± 2M a,d = 360 +70 −60 pc). Methods. We have performed a deep… Expand
Pleiades low-mass brown dwarfs: the cluster L dwarf sequence
- G. Bihain, R. Rebolo, +5 authors A. M. Torres
- Physics
- 11 August 2006
Aims. We present a search for low-mass brown dwarfs in the Pleiades open cluster. The identification of Pleiades members fainter and cooler than those currently known allows us to constrain… Expand
Discs of planetary-mass objects in $\mathsf{\sigma}$ Orionis
- M. R. Z. Osorio, J. A. Caballero, +11 authors H. Bouy
- Physics
- 1 September 2007
Aims.We searched for infrared flux excesses of planetary-mass candidates in the σ Orionis cluster (~3 Myr, ~350 pc). Methods: Using IJHKs data from the literature and the [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and… Expand
INFRARED AND KINEMATIC PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSTELLAR OBJECT G 196-3 B
- M. Osorio, R. Rebolo, G. Bihain, V. S. Béjar, J. A. Caballero, C. Álvarez
- Physics
- 22 April 2010
We report unusual near- and mid-infrared photometric properties of G 196-3 B, the young substellar companion at 16'' from the active M2.5-type star G 196-3 A, using data taken with the IRAC and MIPS… Expand
Search for free-floating planetary-mass objects in the Pleiades
- M. Osorio, M. Ortiz, +8 authors J. A. Caballero
- Physics
- 10 July 2014
(Abridged) We aim at identifying the least massive population of the solar metallicity, young (120 Myr), nearby (133.5 pc) Pleiades star cluster with the ultimate goal of understanding the physical… Expand
The dark nature of GRB 051022 and its host galaxy
- A. Castro-Tirado, M. Bremer, +17 authors R. Neri
- Physics
- 22 August 2007
Aims. We present multiwavelength (X-ray/optical/near-infrared/millimetre) observations of GRB 051022 between 2.5 h and ∼1.15 yr after the event. It is the most intense gamma-ray burst (∼10 −4 erg cm… Expand
Candidate free-floating super-Jupiters in the young $\sigma$ Orionis open cluster
Context. Free-floating substellar candidates with estimated theoretical masses of as low as ~5 Jupiter masses have been found in the ~3 Myr old σ Orionis open cluster. As the overlap with the… Expand
A non-uniform distribution of the nearest brown dwarfs
Context. The census of solar neighbours is still complemented by new discoveries, mainly of very low-mass, faint dwarfs, close to or within the substellar domain. These discoveries contribute to a… Expand
Spectroscopic follow-up of L- and T-type proper-motion member candidates in the Pleiades
- M. Osorio, V. Béjar, +9 authors P. Miles-P'aez
- Physics
- 9 October 2014
(Abridged) We report on the near-infrared low-resolution spectroscopy and red optical (Z-band) photometry of seven proper-motion, very low-mass substellar member candidates of the Pleiades cluster… Expand
