Adaptive optics for high-resolution imaging
Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique that corrects for optical aberrations. It was originally
proposed to correct for the blurring effect of atmospheric turbulence on images in ground …

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