Sixty - seven Additional L Dwarfs Discovered by the Two Micron All Sky Survey ( 2 MASS )
We present J H K , 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 more examples of the latest L dwarfs. Of the 67 new discoveries, 17 have types of L6 or later. Analysis of these new discoveries shows tha t Ha emission has yet to be convincingly detected in any...
متن کاملOptical Spectropolarimetry of Quasi-stellar Objects Discovered by the Two-micron All Sky Survey
Highly polarized QSOs discovered in the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) have been observed to determine the source(s) of optical polarization in this near-infrared color-selected sample. Broad emission lines are observed in the polarized flux spectra of most objects, and the polarization of the lines is at about the same level and position angle as the continuum. Generally, the continuum is b...
متن کاملDiscovery of Four Field Methane (T-type) Dwarfs with the Two Micron All-Sky Survey
We report the discovery of four field methane (“T”-type) brown dwarfs using Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) data. One additional methane dwarf, previously discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, was also identified. Near-infrared spectra clearly show the 1.6 and 2.2 μm CH4 absorption bands characteristic of objects with Teff∼< 1300 K, as well as broadened H2O bands at 1.4 and 1.9 μm. Comp...
متن کاملDiscovery of 11 New T Dwarfs in the Two Micron All Sky Survey, including a Possible L/t Transition Binary
We present the discovery of 11 new T dwarfs, found during the course of a photometric survey for mid-to-late T dwarfs in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog and from a proper motion selected sample of ultracool dwarfs in the 2MASS Working Database. Using the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX spectrograph, we obtained low-resolution (R∼150) spectroscopy, allowing us to derive near-infrared spectr...
متن کاملThe Two Micron All-Sky Survey: Removing the Infrared Foreground
We introduce the properties of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) survey for IAU Symposium 204. 2MASS is a near-infrared survey of the entire sky characterized by high reliability and completeness. Catalogs and images for 47% of the sky are now available online. This data release has been used by Wright (2000) and Cambrésy et al. (2000) to subtract the stellar foreground at 1.25 and 2.2 micr...
