چکیده
To investigate the formation of sub-stellar objects, we observed a sample of ultracool dwarfs members of the Upper Scorpius OB association.

A search for planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius association
We report the results of a deep photometric search for planets and brown dwarfs in the nearby young OB Upper Scorpius association. We obtained optical (I) and near-infrared (JKs) images around nine very lowmass stars and brown dwarf member candidates of the association, covering a total area of 113 arcmin. Using a point spread function subtraction technique, we have searched for planetary-mass ...
متن کاملProbing Disk Accretion in Young Brown Dwarfs
We present high-resolution optical spectra of 15 objects near or below the sub-stellar limit in the Upper Scorpius and ρ Ophiuchus star-forming regions. These spectra, obtained with the HIRES instrument on the Keck I telescope, are used to investigate disk accretion, rotation and activity in young very low mass objects. We report the detection of a broad, asymmetric Hα emission line in the ρ Op...
متن کاملMultiplicity at the Stellar/substellar Boundary in Upper Scorpius
We present the results of a high-resolution imaging survey of 12 brown dwarfs and very low mass stars in the closest (∼145 pc) young (∼5 Myr) OB association, Upper Scorpius. We obtained images with the Advanced Camera for Surveys/High Resolution Camera on HST through the F555W (V ), F775W (i), and F850LP (z) filters. This survey discovered three new binary systems, including one marginally reso...
متن کاملA Large-Area Search for Low Mass Objects in Upper Scorpius I: The Photometric Campaign and New Brown Dwarfs
We present a wide-field photometric survey covering ∼200 deg toward the Upper Scorpius OB association. Data taken in the R and I bands with the Quest2 camera on the Palomar 48-inch telescope were combined with the 2MASS JHKS survey and used to select candidate pre-main sequence stars. Followup spectroscopy with the Palomar 200-inch telescope of 62 candidate late-type members identified 43 stars...
متن کاملObservations of M , L , and T Dwarfs
We present the first mid-infrared spectra of brown dwarfs, together with observations of a low-mass star. Our targets are the M3.5 dwarf GJ 1001A, the L8 dwarf DENIS-P J0255−4700, and the T1/T6 binary system ǫ Indi Ba/Bb. As expected, the mid-infrared spectral morphology of these objects changes rapidly with spectral class due to the changes in atmospheric chemistry resulting from their differi...
