Astrometry and Photometry for Cool Dwarfs and Brown Dwarfs
Trigonometric parallax determinations are presented for 28 late-type dwarfs and brown dwarfs, including eight M dwarfs with spectral types between M7 and M9.5, 17 L dwarfs with spectral types between…
Dwarfs Cooler than “M”: The Definition of Spectral Type “L” Using Discoveries from the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS)

- Physics, Geology
- 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 deg2 of actual 2MASS survey data, we have identified another 20…
