Space Velocities of L- and T-Type Dwarfs
- M. Osorio, E. Martín, V. Béjar, H. Bouy, R. Deshpande, R. Wainscoat
- Physics, Geology
- 6 June 2007
We have obtained radial velocities of a sample of 18 ultracool dwarfs (M6.5-T8) using high-resolution, near-infrared spectra obtained with NIRSPEC and the Keck II telescope. We have confirmed that…

AN H-BAND SPECTROSCOPIC METALLICITY CALIBRATION FOR M DWARFS
- R. Terrien, S. Mahadevan, C. Bender, R. Deshpande, L. Ramsey, J. Bochanski
- Physics, Geology
- 8 February 2012
We present an empirical near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method for estimating M dwarf metallicities, based on features in the H band, as well as an implementation of a similar published method in…
The Volatile Composition of Comet 17P/Holmes after Its Extraordinary Outburst
- N. Russo, R. Vervack, E. Martin
- Physics, Geology
- 10 June 2008
The volatile abundances in comet 17P/Holmes were measured on three dates (UT 2007 October 27.6 and 31.3 and November 2.3) using high-dispersion (λ/Δ λ ∼ 2.5 × 104) infrared spectroscopy with NIRSPEC…
TESTING THE ASTEROSEISMIC SCALING RELATIONS FOR RED GIANTS WITH ECLIPSING BINARIES OBSERVED BY KEPLER
- P. Gaulme, J. McKeever, R. Deshpande
- Geology, Physics
- 21 September 2016
Given the potential of ensemble asteroseismology for understanding fundamental properties of large numbers of stars, it is critical to determine the accuracy of the scaling relations on which these…
A NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF 886 NEARBY M DWARFS
- R. Terrien, S. Mahadevan, R. Deshpande, C. Bender
- Physics, Geology
- 4 September 2015
We present a catalog of near-infrared (NIR) spectra and associated measurements for 886 nearby M dwarfs. The spectra were obtained with the NASA-Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX Spectrograph during a…
