KL Luhman - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
The discovery of large numbers of young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs over the past
decade has made it possible to investigate star formation and early evolution in a previously …

Giant planet and brown dwarf formation

G Chabrier, A Johansen, M Janson… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2014 - arxiv.org
Understanding the dominant brown dwarf and giant planet formation processes, and finding

The field substellar mass function based on the full-sky 20 pc census of 525 L, T, and Y dwarfs

JD Kirkpatrick, CR Gelino, JK Faherty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine
these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of the …

The Hawaii infrared parallax program. II. Young ultracool field dwarfs

MC Liu, TJ Dupuy, KN Allers - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a large, uniform analysis of young (≈ 10–150 Myr) ultracool dwarfs, based on
new high-precision infrared (IR) parallaxes for 68 objects. We find that low-gravity (vl-g) late …

The first hundred brown dwarfs discovered by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)

JD Kirkpatrick, MC Cushing, CR Gelino… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The discovery of Y dwarfs using data from the wide-field infrared survey explorer (WISE)

MC Cushing, JD Kirkpatrick, CR Gelino… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Further defining spectral type “Y” and exploring the low-mass end of the field brown dwarf mass function

JD Kirkpatrick, CR Gelino, MC Cushing… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
