Object: | BD* (SIMBAD class: BrownD* = Brown Dwarf) |
Note: | SIMP is a near-infrared imaging survey aimed at detecting new brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars through their proper motion. J-band imaging is done with CPAPIR, the wide-field (35'x35') infrared camera of the Observatoire du Mont Megantic, currently mounted on the CTIO 1.5-m telescope. he 2MASS point source catalog is used as a first epoch for proper motion determination. The SIMP survey was initiated in February 2005 and as of June 2006, 4200 square degrees have been surveyed near the celestial equator. 2006ApJ...651L..57A: first ref. with a SIMP object. |
