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 …
