Dwarfs Cooler Than M: The Definition of Spectral Type L Using Discoveries from the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS)
- J. Kirkpatrick, I. Reid, +7 authors M. Skrutskie
- Physics
- 10 July 1999
Before the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) began, only six objects were known with spectral types later than M9.5 V. In the first 371 sq. deg. of actual 2MASS survey data, we have identified another… Expand
Keck Spectra of Pleiades Brown Dwarf Candidates and a Precise Determination of the Lithium Depletion Edge in the Pleiades
- John Stauffer, G. Schultz, J. Kirkpatrick
- Physics
- 1 April 1998
We have obtained intermediate resolution spectra of 11 candidate brown dwarf members of the Pleiades open cluster using the Keck II telescope and Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrograph. Our primary goal… Expand
67 Additional L Dwarfs Discovered by the Two Micron All Sky Survey
- J. Kirkpatrick, I. Reid, +6 authors R. Williams
- Physics
- 22 March 2000
We present JHKs photometry, far red spectra, and spectral classifications for an additional 67 L dwarfs discovered by the Two Micron All Sky Survey. One of the goals of this new search was to locate… Expand
A Unified Near-Infrared Spectral Classification Scheme for T Dwarfs
- A. Burgasser, T. Geballe, S. Leggett, J. Kirkpatrick, D. Golimowski
- Physics
- 4 October 2005
A revised near-infrared classification scheme for T dwarfs is presented, based on and superseding prior schemes developed by Burgasser and coworkers and Geballe and coworkers, and defined following… Expand
New Neighbors from 2MASS: Activity and Kinematics at the Bottom of the Main Sequence
We have combined 2MASS and POSS II data in a search for nearby ultracool (later than M6.5) dwarfs with Ks 6 A) ultracool M dwarfs are consistent with an ordinary old disk stellar population, while… Expand
Preliminary Parallaxes of 40 L and T Dwarfs from the US Naval Observatory Infrared Astrometry Program
- F. Vrba, A. Henden, +12 authors J. Brinkman
- Physics
- 11 February 2004
We present preliminary trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for 22 L dwarfs and 18 T dwarfs measured using the ASTROCAM infrared imager on the US Naval Observatory (USNO) 1.55 m Strand… Expand
